Case Study: Society for Simulation in Europe (SESAM)

We were tasked with designing and delivering a successful – and profitable – conference which needed to reflect the ambition of the Society by being slick and professional but also budget-friendly.
By creating a sense of excitement around conference, we confirmed early interest from sponsors, exhibitors and attendees. With budget confirmed, we worked to manage spend and put sustainability to the fore. We created a completely paperless event with a zero approach to waste by using an online solution to programme and abstract content.
A fast-paced programme with fringe events and hands-on exhibits kept plenary, workshop and show floor busy throughout for the healthcare professionals in attendance.
Attendee numbers increased by 31% over the last in-person conference pre-pandemic. We welcomed attendees from 53 countries including a sponsored delegation from Ukraine. 9 plenary sessions, 42 workshops, 71 parallel sessions were delivered over three days.
