Professional conference organisation with people who care
As a Professional Congress Organiser (PCO), we focus on ensuring that the conference activities are in line with the objectives of the association. At the same time, we keep a close eye on the conference economy and make sure all logistics are carried out according to the plans, giving the responsible parties more time to focus on the scientific content. By focusing on the conference economy, we often help associations increase their income. These funds may support additional activities of the association after the conference.
We can help you with:
- Support for conference bids
- Conference management
- Financial counselling and management
- Fundraising, sponsor & exhibition management
- Communication, IT & marketing
- Virtual conference management
- Participant registration
- Abstract handling
- Venues & social events
- Hotel administration & local transportation

Conference Management
CAP Partner takes care of overall conference planning and coordination. We assign a conference manager to make sure every detail is perfect and nothing has been forgotten.
We also take pride in generating creative ideas that have the potential to make your conference and/or association stand out.
Support for
conference bids
If you wish to submit a bid for an international conference, we offer support free of charge.
We assist with all facets of bid development, including creating a budget and identifying options for the venue, hotels, and social events.
We are happy to collaborate with the local convention bureau during this process, as needed.
Financial counselling and management
CAP Partner takes full financial responsibility foryour meeting, handling all practical aspects related to budgets and accounts.
- We prepare the conference budget and provide financial counselling.

- We investigate opportunities for conference support provided by the conference city.
All account details, such as expense vouchers, invoices, etc. are shared with the local organising committee.
Fundraising, sponsor & exhibition management
We identify potential sponsors, in collaboration with the local organising committee.
We prepare the Sponsor & Exhibitor Manual, including choices and pricing for different sponsorship opportunities.
We negotiate with sponsors, aiming to establish a collaboration that benefits your association and its sponsors equally.
Our goal is to secure continued sponsor collaboration, and we also make sure all applicable ethical guidelines for collaboration are met.
We handle all practical arrangements related to sponsors and exhibitors, before, during, and after the conference.
We believe that each conference should generate income that will support your association’s other projects. Therefore, our approach to sponsorship often reaches beyond the conference.

IT & marketing

- We handle participant marketing via email and social media.
- We handle press relations, arranging meetings with the press and providing promotional materials during the conference.
- We offer a conference smart phone app to facilitate communication, networking, and individual programme planning before, during, and after the conference.
