Following a competitive pitch, Hampton Medical, part of Hertfordshire-based RapierGroup, has been chosen to deliver the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists’ (RCOG) 2019 World Congress.
The partnership with the RCOG dates back to 2010, when the College’s annual congress was held in Belfast and attracted 1,000 delegates. The event was known at that time as the British International Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Upon the congress’ return to the UK in 2013, Hampton Medical initiated a rebrand of the event to reflect the RCOG’s global membership.
Organisers expect the 2019 Congress to welcome over 3,000 delegates to the ExCeL London venue.
The congress tours around the world and every three year’s returns to the UK. Hampton Medical has been delivering the congress in the UK since 2010.
Lynn Whitley, RCOG director of events, says: “Through working with Hampton Medical, we have developed a world-class conference for specialists in obstetrics and gynaecology which has grown year after year.”
Rob Roffey, MD of Hampton Medical (pictured)mf, adds: “The team have been working with the RCOG since 2010 and it has been such a positive experience and one of continuous improvement. Over the last three congresses we have worked in partnership to create the ultimate event for O&G professionals, with a leading edge scientific programme of global speakers. Key to our joint success has been a relationship with clear goals and measureable objectives, which has resulted in the most successful UK event ever held. We are excited to be the chosen agency for the 2019 congress.”
