What Was Unique About This Meeting?

This was the first time that a symposium on this topic had been hosted so there were nerves around getting sponsor and delegate engagement in an already busy medical calendar – however we surpassed the targeted number of delegates and ran the meeting within budget, much to the delight of lead organiser Nicola de Liguori Carino.

What The Organiser Said

“It is my pleasure to provide a testimonial for Sarah Esslemont and Maximillion. In December 2019 I hosted an international medical symposium at The Hilton Hotel in Deansgate, Manchester. This meeting was attended by an excess of 140 delegates, from the UK, Europe and America. This was a two-day event which included educational and social meetings.

I could not be happier with how the event was organised in the months preceding the event and how it was managed on the days. Sarah and her team were both efficient and delightful to work with. I also had positive feedback from my co-host colleagues and a large number of delegates. I am in fact already in dealings with Maximillion again, in preparation of a new international meeting.

I highly recommend Maximillion and Sarah Esslemont for leading and organising meeting.”
