HELSINKI AND MESSUKESKUS LIVED UP TO THE EXPECTATIONS

”Organising an event of this magnitude requires careful planning, effective work and seamless cooperation. All this combined with the helpful, positive and professional attitude of the staff equals success. The personnel of Messukeskus Helsinki really went the extra mile to make our congress a success. I think I can easily say that it has been one of the smoothest meeting organisations ever.

We are very demanding when it comes to audio-visual services and IT. This time we disregarded the traditional congress portfolios and the programme and material was in digital form. Thousands of users logged on to the network simultaneously and used our mobile application. High-speed internet connection and easy access to a wireless network were an absolute necessity – and it all worked to perfection.”

Bruno Van den Eede, Managing Director , ESHRE Central Office, Belgium

ESHRE Annual Meeting 2016 gathered 10,000 visitors from over 100 countries being one of the biggest medical congresses ever held in Finland.

HEARTWARMING SERVICE

Nordic Business Forum has taken place annually in Finland since 2010. This visually amazing event is targeted for business leaders and has grown from 700 to 6,000 participants with speakers such as Arianna Huffington, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Gore, Sir Richard Branson, Garri Kasparov and George Clooney to mention few. The expectation level for this event is extremely

high, but these levels have always been exceeded and tickets are quickly sold out. Messukeskus has hosted the Finland event since 2014 and is in charge of the AV services including 29 projectors and multiple screens, the largest being 500 m².

“We have enjoyed working with Messukeskus building up the annual Nordic Business Forum. Messukeskus has a lot of very talented people who do a remarkable job!”

Hans-Peter Siefen, Co-founder & CEO, Nordic Business Forum
