Organising conferences and congresses is incredibly challenging, whether it’s a seminar with a small number of delegates or a multi-day conference. One of these challenges is choosing a location for the event.  

The 5th International Conference on Natural Products Utilization: “from Plants to Pharmacy shelf“ (ICNPU), was held from 30.05 – 2.06. 2023 in Sts. Constantine & Helena Resort, Varna, Bulgaria.
ICNPU meetings traditionally cover the broad spectrum of plant applications, with a special focus on sustainable use of natural resources and the latest trends in areas such as pharmacology, toxicology, molecular biology and biotechnology.

Live events are back! Even if we simply take a look at the meetings and conferences, planned by our team for 2023, it is clear that people still value face-to-face interactions. Despite any economic or other turbulence that may arise – human connections remain invaluable!

And what should we expect for conferences this year? Some traditional aspects will remain the same – thoughtful keynotes, networking opportunities, engaging discussions – but others have started to evolve as technology makes it easier for organisers to think outside the box, when hosting events. 

What are the conference tendencies for 2023?

This year’s edition of the annual Sofia Echocardiography Days, held in the period 8-10 April 2022 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, was filled with joyful emotions. It was a hybrid event, which allowed speakers from overseas to support the scientific programme. In addition to national and international specialists, young postgraduate students presented clinical cases from their practice.

Whether organizing a small team-meeting or a large international conference, planning an event is always a complicated task. There are a thousand things to consider in the organizational process, so we tried to synthesize them into 7 must do steps that one should take when organizing an event.
