Festival of Biologics 2019

“There were two main reasons why the Festival of Biologics was relocated to Basel from Geneva five years ago. Firstly, Basel is one of the world’s biggest life sciences centres and, secondly, the Congress Center Basel (CCB) is an ideal venue close to the city centre and the airport. The CCB has all the facilities we need and can accommodate the growth of our event without any problems.”

In the light of the Festival’s success, we are planning to hold further life sciences events in the Congress Center Basel in future.

“In the light of the Festival’s success, we are planning to hold further life sciences events in the CCB in future. One key factor in the growth of our event is the good and close working relationship we enjoy with the CCB. We benefit from highly individual and personal support, even though the team is also busy with a large number of other events.

I value the fact that the large number of services supplied by a wide range of service providers are managed and coordinated by the CCB. That greatly facilitates the planning and holding of the Festival. The communication is fantastic – from the signage through to the configuration of the evening event.”
