BEST PRACTICE CASE STUDY: CPO HANSER SERVICE
‘A successful 30th Congress Anniversary’
European Society of Pathology
By INCON Partner: CPO Hanser Service
30TH EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF PATHOLOGY (ECP) – BILBAO, SPAIN
INTRODUCTION
CPO HANSER SERVICE’S challenge was to make the 30th Anniversary of the European Congress of Pathology (ECP) a great success in an unfamiliar congress destination. The host City was Bilbao, Spain – a relatively small city with not a lot of flight connections, so we thought that registration figures might be lower than in the previous years.
Bilbao is not widely renowned internationally as a congress city. The congress centre is beautiful, an architectural masterpiece, but feels like Hogwarts (and looks like it from the outside, too) – which makes it a bit difficult to find one’s way around.

WHAT IS THE EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF PATHOLOGY?
The European Society of Pathology (ESP) is a leading force in European pathology.
As a learned society, the ESP has as its primary aim the promotion of high quality diagnostic practice, applied and translational research and under- and postgraduate education in the field of human pathology. This is achieved through its congresses, its journal Virchows Archiv, its European School of Pathology which organises a variety of postgraduate courses and its quality assurance projects in diagnostic molecular pathology.
