“We work closely with Pauwels Congress Organisers and the Maastricht Convention Bureau. It is crucial for the city that Convention Bureau brings international conferences to Maastricht. Maastricht could be the central cardiovascular institute in the triangle of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.”

“Competitors were Amsterdam, Paris, and Düsseldorf. We chose Maastricht because the conference venue MECC Maastricht offers the best options for our program, which includes over a 100 workshops. It is also very conveniently located across from the MUMC+, where I work.”

They were very helpful in realising our additional wishes and have provided brochures about the city for all our guests.”
