Maastricht, your conference city

Maastricht is perhaps best known for being the place where the Treaty on European Union was signed, back in 1992. But there is definitely much more to this city which promotes knowledge like no other. Today, Maastricht has become a magnet to international and European associations, thanks to a multitude of international organizations and educational institutes in many areas of endeavours.

European Association of Neurosurgical Societies

In Maastricht, on behalf of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies, we have been hosted by the Convention Bureau of Maastricht and the MECC team, to see the new building of the renovated MECC and to discover possibilities in the region for our congresses and events. The Convention Bureau has done a fantastic job to host us, to prepare this visit and to showcase what is possible and available in the region. We are ‘living’ the city, truly excited, truly inspired and we want to send a big warm and warm thank you for the great work of the local team.

European Vascular Courses

For more than 13 years MECC Maastricht has been our trusted venue. With the new building and upgrade we now have even more fantastic opportunities to showcase the European Vascular Courses (EVC) to the maximum. There are very few convention centers in the world with such a perfect infrastructure where EVC can host hundreds of workshops. And all this in the beautiful city of Maastricht where our thousands of participants love to come every year!

9th World Congress of the International Association for Women's Mental Health

The International Association for Women's Mental Health recently held our 9th World Congress that brings delegates from every continent. The quality and layout of the meeting space in the MECC was outstanding. The Auditorium was perfect for our plenary and large symposia. The breakout rooms on the lower level allowed us our largest number of concurrent parallel sessions (9) in a configuration that allowed movement easily within the space. The foyer was the perfect networking space for posters and networking events including coffee breaks, lunch (attendee paid) and receptions. The NH Hotel next door to the MECC made it easy for delegates to stay nearby or to choose lovely, unique hotels in the city center. We would recommend this venue and city for any international Congress.

IAPD - International Association of Paediatric Dentistry Congress 2023

The 2023 congress was a very successful event with more participants and sponsors than expected. People were impressed, especially in terms of service and hospitality Maastricht stands out compared to other destinations in this country, which certainly did not go unnoticed among our participants and sponsors either. Both MCI (pco) and the International Association of Peadiatric Dentistry look back on the congress with great satisfaction.
