(Medical) conferences

Medical conferences

MECC Maastricht has been a trusted location for international exhibitions and conferences for three decades. The enormous development in the region in the fields of (health) science, technology, chemistry, public administration, sports and culture is nourished and propagated by the various Brightlands Campuses, for which MECC Maastricht offers the ideal platform for knowledge transfer.

A leader in international medical conferences

Thanks to intensive collaboration with Maastricht Health Campus, Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC+), Maastricht University and the Maastricht Convention Bureau, MECC Maastricht has become a leader in multi-day international medical conferences.

Ultimate conference setting

MECC Maastricht has a conference centre with two auditoriums and three event halls. This unique combination means that you can organise a conference and hold a party or dinner event in the Expo Foyer in the evenings. The combination of the conference facilities, hospitality industry establishments in the vicinity and the lively city centre makes for the ultimate setting for a conference.

Florian Locatelli | CEO ESRA

The MECC allowed a perfect environment for education and networking for the 1450 ESRA participants. Wide corridors with vistas to the other levels – above and below, an Exhibition hall with a full wall opening to the main meeting point, comfortable halls were all a perfect setting for an intimate, engaging and nevertheless spacious venue, where participants met and exchanged knowledge and ideas. The top notch service and high quality of the facilities only added to the participants’ satisfaction. In conclusion, ESRA recommends the MECC for the organization of mid-size congresses.
