Medical conferences and training: 5 good reasons to choose BluePoint Antwerp

Renting a venue for a scientific or health-related event is a hard nut to crack. Is the venue easily accessible,are the rooms adequately equipped for presentations and demonstrations? Is there enough space for the event’s partners and sponsors, are there enough break-out rooms? These are just a few of the criteria to consider when looking for an event venue for your medical conference or training.

ignoring any of these criteria can quickly undermine event organization and affect the overall experience of your attendees. So it’s no coincidence that conference centers are developing an all-in-one approach that ensures your event is worry-free .

A live event is preferred

The restrictions imposed during the health crisis impacted working habits at all levels. After a “forced” switch to virtual technology, which made the management of medical events quite complex, the industry quickly returned to face-to-face meetings, which were better suited for exchanges between the parties involved.

Organizing a medical event in Antwerp? Very pleasant with BluePoint!

Here are 5 excellent reasons to hold your medical conference or training at a conference center.

1. Modular spaces for Plenary sessions, subgroups and exhibitors

In addition to a plenary hall, don’t overlook the possibility of breakout sessions  because they are a powerful tool to give extra exposure to all the specialties covered during the event, thereby  increasing the sharing of information or knowledge. Does your event need large spaces to host your partners and sponsors for their exhibit materials? If so, it may be a good idea to reserve one or more rooms: this will enhance the overall experience and networking during your event

Again, modern conference centers excel at this because of the flexibility they offer: booking a plenary hall and a couple of breakout rooms in one place is child’s play. So why not?

Ueli Kramer –  Ph.D & President ESSPD

The European Society for the Study of Personality Disorders (ESSPD) held its 7th congress at the Bluepoint in Antwerp, Belgium, from September 23 to 25, 2024. With more than 700 participants, the congress was a success, thanks in part to Bluepoint’s excellent service, so many thanks to the Bluepoint Antwerp team!!! Everyone was satisfied, the food was delicious and we felt warmly welcomed at the Bluepoint. Also the live streaming was impeccable! A heartfelt thank you!

2. Advanced technology for presentations and livestreams

Speakers must be able to give their presentations in all simplicity, without worrying for a moment about the technical aspects. Moreover, thanks to modern audiovisual tools, you can allow foreign speakers to participate in your congress via a video livestream. w Your scientific congress will thus become not only more dynamic but also a lot more sustainable

Fully connected event spaces with their own projection equipment are of course ideal for this. When you choose to host your event with BluePoint, you also benefit from ultra-reactive on-site technical support in case of problems. Discover BluePoint Antwerp’s capabilities here.

3. Integrated catering options

Will the medical conference be held in the evening or during the day? Do you foresee a networking session where refreshments will be provided?

Make your program -airier with “intelligent” catering to save time and ideal networking between partners. In any case, don’t underestimate the positive impact a break can have to quench your thirst and regain your strength while exchanging ideas with like-minded people

The most common solution is to hire an outside caterer to prepare the menus and provide service. This requires additional coordination. We therefore recommend using a conference center with its own professional catering service. All planning is centralized and organizational headaches are eliminated.

4. An ideally located and easily accessible location

As we all know, physicians often have busy schedules. Not surprisingly, attendance is highly dependent on the location of the event. Choosing a venue that is conveniently located and easily accessible , will make your guests’ lives much easier and encourage them not to miss the event.

BluePoint Antwerp has its own private parking lot with many electric charging stations.

A successful customer day thanks to BluePoint ! Thanks to the pleasant cooperation we were able to focus on the preparations for this day. We had several meetings and visits leading up to the day. And on the day itself, the team was there to help us out where needed.

5. Security and accreditation control

Since medical training and conferences are essentially meetings reserved for accredited experts, it is essential to have a professional reception desk to check accreditations and hand out badges.

A center with its own security service and access control are additional quality features to consider when making your choice.
