CONFERENCE & EVENT PLANNING

The Hill Group has two decades of experience planning events such as focus groups, workshops, trainings, meetings, medical symposia, and conferences.

Professional Conference Planners

We have coordinated hundreds of events ranging from 10-person meetings to 4,000-person conferences, many of which have supported the scientific and medical communities. In conjunction with these events, HG has traveled thousands of foreign and domestic participants, provided translation and interpretation services, and developed thousands of documents. We back our experience with proven online applications and tools that streamline processes and provide relevant data that can be used to efficiently plan and manage concurrent conferences within the United States and abroad. Our personnel are career conference planners, most of whom have Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) certification.

Project Highlight
