Since 1999 the ESCP’s been sharing ideas across the colorectal community to benefit patients in Europe and beyond. And right from the start, we’ve been proud to support their admirable education initiatives, research, conferences and exhibitions.

ESCP officers give their time voluntarily – most are surgeons.

So we provide reliable guidance and day-to-day input that keep their conference plans and overall administration on track. As in any long-term relationship, we’ve come to know just what they need and when.

At conference time, that means they can give full attention to sessions and waste zero time fretting over arrangements. As ESCP’s representatives, we also nurture relations with their sponsors, balancing each one’s needs across events.

We show that same care when handling logistics for their flagship educational courses, so that committee and course directors can focus on teaching and learning.

Running an affordable conference that still generates profit – to fund educational activities – takes shrewd budget planning. With our ongoing support, ESCP enjoys financial security and hosts a superb annual event that delegates find well worth the ticket price.
