Here's a myth we hear a lot: a successful conference is just one with a packed main hall and a stacked speaker list.

It isn't.

They're the ones built on hundreds of small decisions, made in the right order, by the right people, with enough time left to fix what goes wrong.

πŸ“‹ Our new guide breaks conference planning into 11 clear steps, built for organizers, PCOs, and event teams running scientific, medical, and corporate events.

A few highlights inside: πŸ‘‡

🎯 How to turn "we want a great conference" into 3–5 measurable objectives.
β™Ώ Why 16% of your attendees likely need accessibility accommodations and how to plan for it from day one.
πŸ—“οΈ A real milestone timeline, from 18-month venue booking to day-before rehearsals.
🧩 How to pick conference technology that connects your workflows instead of creating duplicate data and manual rework.
🚩 The 10 most common planning mistakes, and the fast fix for each one.
βœ… A ready-to-use checklist you can run your next event against.

Whether you're 18 months out from a major congress or 3 months from a symposium, this is the framework we'd hand a new team member on day one.

And that's a wrap on our webinar! πŸ’¬

Thanks to everyone who joined Richard Rettenbacher for a deep dive into how Gen Z and Millennials are reshaping the conference floor.

Here's a quick look at what we covered πŸ‘‡

πŸ“Š The data doesn't lie:
75% of the workforce will be Millennials & Gen Z by 2030.
50% drop in general session attendance among younger attendees.
40% higher engagement when events reflect attendee values.

🎯 What younger attendees actually want:
Career advancement, not just education.
Purposeful connection over passive networking.
Interactive formats over lecture-only sessions.
Hybrid flexibility, not an afterthought.

The takeaway: this shift is structural, not cyclical. In this session, we explored four key strategies associations can act on now.

CTI was in Lisbon this week for PCMA .

Our colleagues, Yara and Cathrin, spent three days talking with association leaders about the real challenges behind running complex events. That's what we love about this industry: it runs on relationships, not just registrations.

Thank you, PCMA, for bringing the community together! πŸ™Œ

The CTI team made its way to London for ! βœˆοΈπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

This congress brought the oncology community together once again to advance cancer research and care, and as always, we were glad to play a part behind the scenes:

πŸ“„ Abstract submission to support efficient review workflows.
πŸ–₯️ ePosters to showcase scientific content onsite.
πŸ—‚οΈ Project management to keep every detail on track.

From submissions to the final onsite touches, our goal is always the same: helping deliver a seamless experience for everyone involved.
