October 27, 2015The Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) returns to Scotland in November with its Global Medical Meetings Summit, bringing a number of senior medical professionals from around the world for a program of education at leading destinations across the country.
This invitation-only event has attracted the leaders in global medical meetings, with representatives from the American Society of Anesthesiologists, Societe Internationale d’Urologie, American Thyroid Association, World Allergy Association, American College of Emergency Physicians, Scoliosis Research Society and American College of Genetics and Genomics.
“Throughout PCMA’s Global Medical Meetings Summit, this stellar group of medical meeting professionals will be working collaboratively to help us define today’s most pressing challenges in global medical conferences and define possible solutions, “said Deborah Sexton, president and CEO, PCMA. “We look forward to the outcomes and continuing our collaboration with Scotland in the year ahead.”
The program begins on November 12, in Glasgow, with a series of education events being held at the award-winning Scottish Exhibition and Convention Centre, before heading out to the iconic Gleneagles Hotel, home to the 2014 Ryder Cup. The program concludes in the capital city of Edinburgh with events taking place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
The program will be led by professional facilitator Sean Blair, with UK’s ProMeet, and also will feature keynote and workshop speaker Bertalan Mesko, known as The Medical Futurist, who will explore “Bringing Disruptive Medical Technologies to Life in Healthcare.”
Neil Brownlee, head of business events at VisitScotland, commented, “The PCMA Global Medical Meetings Summit will represent the second occasion that Scotland has hosted such a prestigious gathering of meeting professionals, following the inaugural PCMA Global Corporate Summit in 2012. Since then, Scotland has reinforced its position as the perfect stage for meetings and events of all sizes. We look forward to not only showcasing the country and its credentials in the medical arena, but also to providing an unparalleled backdrop to inspire these global leaders.”
