As the IAPCO AM&GA flag was ceremoniously passed to our 2026 hosts, a new and exciting journey begins for Greece and its Meetings Industry!

We, at ERA Congresses & Events, are proud to be part of this milestone moment, standing alongside our fellow Greek PCOs – AFEA Congress, Convin SA, Erasmus Conferences & Events S.A., and our Destination Partner This is Athens -Convention & Visitors Bureau – to bring the IAPCO AM&GA 2026 to Athens!

We were honored to serve as the DMC for this prestigious event in Athens, navigating many challenges, including strikes during the congress period. Despite the difficulties, we worked closely with our partners to ensure a seamless experience.
It was truly rewarding to receive this heartfelt message from MCI:

From 14-16 March 2025, the 6th Panhellenic Congress of Dermatological Surgery & Laser brought together over 800 participants from across Greece, making it one of the most successful editions yet!

With cutting-edge discussions, hands-on sessions, and the latest advancements in dermatological surgery and laser treatments, the congress exceeded expectations.

We are honored to have been part of this journey and look forward to continuing to support the advancement of medical knowledge and innovation.

📌 2nd Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa | 21-22 March 2025

The 2nd Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa, held on 21-22 March 2025, was a resounding success, with a significant number of participants joining the event. The symposium featured an innovative format, with live streaming surgery sessions on both days directly from the Hospital of A. Syggros to the auditorium. This setup allowed for seamless communication between the live surgery and the audience, enhancing the experience with live Q&A during the sessions. The event fostered rich discussions and knowledge exchange, further advancing the understanding and management of this challenging condition.

With an action-packed schedule ahead, we are excited to continue shaping meaningful experiences for the global meetings industry.
