FAQs

What level of conference bid support can I expect?

WTY and our partners at the conference bureaux and venues throughout the region can assist with compilation of bespoke conference bid documentation. Your scientific programme proposal can be incorporated with destination sell text, imagery, venue proposals, multi-sector bid support letters and social programme itineraries, which we will originate. Where complex budgetary projections are required we can organise introductions to professional conference organisers.  

What are the advantages of recruiting a professional conference organiser?

The conference organising expertise that the right PCO can offer, above and beyond the obvious advantages of addressing restraints on the time that you can dedicate to organising a conference can be extremely valuable. It is something of a misconception that recruiting a PCO constitutes an unnecessary additional cost to conference organisation; in fact their expertise in event marketing and finances often means they can add valuable efficiencies in those areas. YTB can help to recommend PCOs with specific sector expertise in such technical areas as handling abstracts, speaker liaison, scientific and technical program support, translation of congress documentation, sponsorship and secretariat facilities.
