Congresses

Conference organisation and production is a very strong segment of event-factory’s product range. With a tidal wave of new hotels and congress centres spreading through Poland in recent years, a highly competitive Polish conference market, and the quality products offered in this segment, business tourism and the meeting industry are expected to grow rapidly.

At event-factory we offer the comprehensive organisation of congresses and conferences at selected Polish and international destinations. Our Conference 360° product covers a full range of activities required to prepare a “turn-key” event. By coming to us the customer will find all the components necessary to hold a conference tailored to their needs available in one place, starting from the selection of the optimum location, to a comprehensive visual identification of the event, to participant sales and registration systems, websites and mobile apps, organisation of keynote and motivational speakers and celebrities, media coverage, to the actual organisation and technical production. We will also take care of hotel accommodation, accompanying events and transfer services.

Since 2014, event-factory has been a member of Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the largest global organisation of the meeting industry with more than 60 000 members from 24 countries. With this membership we have gained access to a powerful international MPI recommendation network offering contact with local subcontractors and suppliers in virtually every corner of the world.

One of the most important recent congress events held in Poland was the European Congress of Culture, part of the Poland’s EU Presidency in 2011. Held in Wrocław, the Congress was attended by the ministers of culture from all 27 member states, while the concerts given at the time assembled 10 000 spectators. The concerts were a musical encounter of maestro Krzysztof Penderecki with the icon of electronic music Aphex Twin and the Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood and the events were named the most important cultural events of 2011 in Poland by the leading magazine Polityka and the Polish cultural TV channel TVP Kultura.

In 2014, event-factory was the executive producer of the EELA international labour law congress with more than 500 delegates from all over the world. This event brought us a nomination for the MP Power Awards in the Congress of the Year category.

In 2016, we delivered an annual, multi-threaded conference for the Association of Business Leaders (ABSL). Held at the newly expanded civic area of Katowice which comprises the International Congress Centre, the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Silesian Museum, the event was attended by 1000 participants who had the chance to listen to Condoleezza Rice, a former US Secretary of State, as the keynote speaker.

Event-factory was also the executive producer for a CISCO FORUM conference, TEDx Krakow, and for dozens of smaller-scale conferences and meetings.
