MediCongress is a family business founded by Werner Van Cleemputte and Martine Verbeke in 1987. With over 30 years of experience and more than 700 conferences on our account, we are proud to be your dedicated professional conference organiser (PCO) and association manager. 

A dedicated team!

Our team is small in number but large in scope, since our skill sets are complementary. We thrive when working together. We are dedicated, efficient and enthusiastic and our approach is hands-on and personal. For each event, we assign one dedicated congress manager for a perfect flow. 

Our knowledge of scientific events is extensive and makes us able to run problem-free congresses. We have countless contacts in the meeting and venue industry, so that we can lead you towards the best choices.  

Based in Ghent!

We have state-of-the-art equipment and are housed in a brand-new building near Ghent (Belgium). We can rely on a sister company specialised in audio-visuals, so next to physical events we have everything you need for a hybrid or virtual congress as well. 

What we aim for? Organising a successful event with good reception. What we promise? To take on the organisation of your event with everything we’ve got and manage your association as our own.

Meet our team!

We are a well-coordinated team that values each other’s strengths and competences. We combine our skill sets and positive mindset to deliver the most complete service.
