“We wish to sincerely thank the Barcelona Convention Bureau for their indispensable help and support with respect to the organisation of the 34th Annual Congress of the European Association of Urology in the city of Barcelona on 15-19 March 2019. The support from the Convention Bureau, coordinated in an excellent way by Mrs. Ana Bueno, addressed many local aspects which contributed greatly to the success of the EAU19 congress that was attended by more than 12,000 participants from all over the world. The City of Barcelona and the efficient congress lay-out in halls 6 and 8 of the Fira Gran Via provided a great setting for EAU19 and was much appreciated by the congress delegates, representatives from the industry and all others involved. Without the contribution of the Barcelona Convention Bureau it would not have been the same experience and we are very grateful for the support and pleasant cooperation during the past years of preparation. We certainly hope to call upon their help again for future EAU Congresses in Barcelona! ”

“Working with the Barcelona Convention Bureau was an absolute pleasure. We’ve worked together with BCB before, and during the Covid’19 pandemic and they supported us all along the way. They have a ‘partnership mindset’ and that made a huge difference in a period that was extremely challenging for many organisers. The EAIE was able to come back to a 4-day in-person conference & exhibition with a record breaking attendance of more than 6400. Together with the BCB we were able to create a significant social impact by helping us to provide all our attendees with a public transport card for the duration of the conference. In addition they supported us in creating connections with many important local stakeholders. ”

“Barcelona has a lot to offer for a very successful scientific meeting. The city is a magnet in all seasons with something for everybody. Our experience in the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) was excellent, our annual congress had record attendance figures and participant feedback. Barcelona Turisme and the Barcelona Convention Bureau did a wonderful job highlighting what Barcelona has to offer to our attendees and provided an exceptional venue for our Presidential Dinner (the Recinte Modernista at Hospital Sant Pau). Their collaboration was key to the success of our congress and provided a comfortable and easy to navigate venue, in a perfect seafront location with easy access to the city. ”

“It is with great pleasure that I thank the Barcelona Convention Bureau team for their unfaltering support in the preparation of ESC Congress 2022, which took place in Barcelona from 26–29 August 2022. This was a special and important edition of the congress for the ESC, as it marked the return of our in-person meeting after two years of being online-only. With excellent infrastructure and a state-of-the-art venue at Fira Gran Via, the city of Barcelona was able to welcome more than 20,000 cardiovascular healthcare professionals from around the world. Moreover, the support and local knowledge of the Bureau and their many local partners, together with the famed hospitality of the city, contributed greatly towards making it a very successful comeback!”

“In 2009, 2016 and 2019 Barcelona proved each time to be the perfect destination for EANM’s annual congress. For 2022, after the Corona break, we were curious to see whether anything had changed. The result: absolutely nothing! Just as seamless, as in previous years, the community appeared with the same strength and once again made the platform of the "Worldleading Meeting in Nuclear Medicine" shine. Our thanks to the entire Barcelona team from the Convention Bureau, to the CCIB team, to security, the hostesses and the cleaning staff. It was a pleasure and we look forward to seeing you again in 3 years.”

“The ESOT Congress returned to Barcelona after a long period of time. We have received, since the bid proposal, an unprecedent assistance by the CVB. They helped us with many aspects of the organization and facilitated the relations with local suppliers. But it was certainly after the terrorist attack that they demonstrated support and determination. Despite the recent difficulties the City remains very attractive and inviting. ”

“‘This was INTA’s first time in Barcelona and it was an excellent location for our Annual Meeting! Accessibility to Barcelona–El Prat Airport from around the world, a high-quality and diverse housing package, great public transportation system, innovative and functional meeting space and exhibition halls at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via along with high-level service and execution, helped to make our city-wide convention a big success. We had terrific support from the CVB and our housing and event partner that helped us achieve our meeting goals. It was a great experience overall!’”

“Barcelone est une ville “complète” : un climat agréable, une histoire, de l'art, de la culture, un accès facile et avec un bon transport public... et en plus accueillante: quand j'y suis revenue en 2002, après avoir vécu 11 ans aux États-Unis et 13 en Italie, je me suis demandé comment j'avais fait pour vivre loin d'elle si longtemps !”

“Lors de la planification et l'organisation de son 49e congrès annuel, qui a réuni il y a peu 18.500 médecins, chercheurs et professionnels qui travaillent dans le domaine du diabète, les directeur de l'EASD (European Association for the Study of Diabetes) ont remarqué la grande attraction culturelle et touristique de Barcelone, les conditions “excellentes” (selon leurs propres mots) des installations de la foire, la qualité et la quantité de l'offre hôtelière de la ville et l'importance et la visibilité croissantes de la recherche biomédicale qui est actuellement menée à bien dans la capitale catalane. Ilsont aussi applaudi la fiabilité et le professionnalisme des organismes locaux impliqués dans les engagements acquis, en particulier face aux imprévus.”

“Barcelona is a welcoming city which is respectful of Human Rights and diversity. Holding the Conference “Equality and Security” in the city provided a unique opportunity to raise the profile of women in police organisations, where we are still in the minority, both internationally and locally Barcelona is proud of its position as an international reference point in the field of equality in security. The aim of our Conference, safely hosted in the Congress Palace, was to reflect these values and give visibility to the role of women in security Thanks to the efforts of all involved we achieved our goals and the conference proved to be an enriching experience for our delegates, the volunteers and us as organisers. We, women in policing, are very grateful to Barcelona City Council, Fira de Barcelona, Barcelona Turisme Convention Bureau and local companies involved for their contribution to making the Conference a success. ”

“Je ne suis pas objectif car Barcelone est ma ville natale. Mais travailler dans les sciences et la technologie et parler de sa ville, c’est synonyme de candidat idéal pour réaliser un congrès, un grand congrès sans doute. Nous avons eu l’opportunité et le succès d’organiser le congrès européen de robotique gynécologique (SERGS) et ma satisfaction est seulement comparable à celle de nos invités et participants... quelle grande ville! ”
