XLVIII ERA-EDTA Congress

The first C-IN event of this year was the unique meeting of real estate professionals at the RE/MAX Convention, which took place at the end of January in the Prague Congress Center. Almost 700 guests from the RE/MAX network and their real estate colleagues met here.

Prague held an expert meeting of the European Society of Movement Analysis for Adults and Children (ESMAC) during the last week of September. The meeting was designed for all those interested in body movement analysis to promote collaboration between biomechanics, bioengineers, physicians, physiotherapists and other professionals.

The charity event TERIBEAR moves Prague, also known as a fun day with the bear, which was held for the fourth time by the Tereza Maxová Foundation, once again raised the bar with an astonishing 8,000 participants registered before the start of the event. This year, more than 16,000 people supported this unique event. They came to the Vítkov hill in Prague and together, they ran and walked an amazing 320,812.5 km. The total amount that was raised was an incredible 9,624,375 crowns!

On Saturday, 15 September, the 12th Pan-European Conference of the European Association for International Relations (EISA) was successfully concluded. The event took place at the Prague University of Economics and it has seen several important milestones, both from the perspective of the association and us organizers at C-IN.

The summer holiday months are finishing and our project managers are preparing to not only to send their children back to school. The conferences to be organised by C-IN through September are fast approaching. On September 2nd, the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect Congress (ISPCAN) commences concurrently with the 17th International Conference on the Properties of Water and Steam (ICPWS). The Congress of the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) will start just four days later.

Technological development is unstoppable and an integral part of the work of the C-IN team is the monitoring of current trends and their use in practice. We were personally introduced to a new development in the mobile industry last week during a short workshop by Jelmer van Anst, founder and CEO of the Dutch company called Conference Compass. Just as is states in the name itself, their main product is a mobile application designed for international associations not only at the time of their regular conferences.
