«SGUM has held its annual national convention (over 500 delegates) in Davos for decades now. We have also organised 3 international conventions (tri-nation summits with over 1,200 delegates) with Davos Congress. We work closely with Davos Congress and appreciate their competent and professional approach, their fair pricing and their excellent facilities. We always receive excellent feedback on the event (and the catering) from our delegates, and the exhibitors see the convention in Davos as the perfect platform for interacting with customers.»

pharmaDavos

After the departure of pharmacon, which had been organising a pharmaceutical congress in Davos for 44 years, a new organising committee under Swiss leadership has set up the successor congress pharmaDavos and has been running it successfully since 2015. Around 400 pharmacists and students from the University of Basel are taking part in the almost one-week training under the motto "News from Davos" in order to be always up to date. The professional support provided by Congress Davos makes a major contribution to the success of this event in a remarkably collegial atmosphere.
