More and more congresses are fully or partially hosted online. According to the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), 34% of medical associations even think that virtual events will supersede over face-to-face meetings. Half of associations consider hosting hybrid events and mingling real and virtual features: the meeting will be staged in a real venue with delegates while integrating a digital part online.

There is an undeniable advantage to virtual meetings, which make it much easier to gather groups of people focusing on specific topics, to attract a wider audience and to lower event-related costs.

Aix-Marseille is attracting more and more major events which strengthened its place in the leading trio of French cities in hosting International conferences: classified 41st in Europe and 77th in the World, in the ICCA 2018 ranking (International Congress and Convention Association). Our company, MCO Congrès, specialised in the organisation of medical conferences, has the pleasure to announce that it won several recent calls to bids, contributing to the economical development of Aix-Marseille Metropole:

Since its creation, nearly 30 years ago, MCO Congrès has been accompanying not only Scientific Societies and Professionnal Associations, but also any structure wishing to innovate, to take action and grow, whatever their field and historical background.

MCO will also become the organisation team for all 14 laboratories of the ENSAM, one of France’s oldest and best engineering schools specializing in mechanical, industrial and energy engineering.
