GUARANT International HAS ORGANISED A LARGE INTERNATIONAL DERMATOLOGICAL CONGRESS IN RUSSIA
GUARANT International, in cooperation with the International Society of Dermatology, the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation and the State Scientific Center for dermatovenerology, successfully organized the 2nd Continental Dermatological Congress and the 4th Russian Dermatovenereological Congress in St. Petersburg.
The congress took place at Taurid Palace, which is a Russian Federal Government building and presently serves as the official seat of the Commonwealth of Independent States. Since the palace is not open to the public, our organizing team had to also manage an appropriately high level of security measures. One of the largest main halls suitable for organizing congresses in St. Petersburg is located in the Palace.
The congress was held during an attractive time of the year, the so-called “White Nights“, when the Sun sets only for a few hours each day, which, in turn, intensified the delegates’ positive impressions of the city. Tours to St. Petersburg’s historical sights were highly desired as well, including visits of St. Isaac Cathedral, the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Hermitage State Museum, Peterhoff Palace and Park.
Facts & Figures from the Congress:
• More than 1100 participants
• 52 exhibitors
• The professional program was divided into Russian and International sections
• All international sections were translated into Russian and English
Our organizing team whose members included Ingrid Vojteková (Project Manager), Iva Hanušová (Venue & Venue Services), Alena Füllsacková (Sponsorship & Exhibition), Renata Somolová (Local Suppliers & Services), Mirka Savková (Registration Manager), Jakub Novák (Scientific Programme Coordination), Robert Vojtěch (English & Russian Website) gained several important and well-appreciated contacts and experience in St. Petersburg and they are greatly looking forward to similar upcoming events. Our unofficial informal group of Russian-speaking colleagues in our company will definitely continue to expand and grow after such a prosperous outcome at this year's event.
