Utrecht has it all: it buzzes with knowledge, innovation and social commitment. Moreover, hotels and public transport are within walking distance and the city is tremendously cosy. Of course, we have known this for years. And fortunately we are no longer the only ones, because more and more international congresses and events are now taking place in Utrecht. A few in particular:
International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare
It was one of the Utrecht Congress Alliance’s goals: to bring the prestigious International Forum on Quality and Safetyin Healthcare to Utrecht. And they succeeded! It took place at Jaarbeurs from 21 to 23 May. The conference attracted thousands of healthcare professionals from all over the world. With over 100 sessions spread over three days, it was a popular conference that will be talked about for a long time to come.
European Microwave Week
Although the name might suggest otherwise, this event is not about microwaves. It is, however, the leading conference on microwave technology and radio communications. It was temporarily postponed due to the pandemic, but fortunately it is now definitely going ahead: in September at Jaarbeurs. With sessions spread across several floors and an exhibition in the halls, the organisers are making the most of our venue. We’re really looking forward to it!
Innovation for Health
Another newcomer to Utrecht: Innovation for Health. Previously held in Rotterdam, it has now moved to the heart of the Netherlands. The conference focuses on the future of healthcare. Under the theme “Bridging the Gap – From Patent to Patient”, more than 800 innovators, investors and policymakers will come together. It promises to be a substantive programme full of inspiration, unique pitches and international sessions.
