Association Events – The Leadership Imperative

What does it really take to deliver an association’s flagship congress?

The latest episode of the Boardroom Association Podcast takes listeners behind the scenes of major international events — exploring the leadership, collaboration, and strategy that make them possible.

Featuring insights from:
👥 F***y Senez, European Cancer Organisation
👥 Noureddine M’ghari, EAACI – European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology

Together, they unpack:
✔️ How annual events serve as a sector’s “meeting point” for learning and visibility
✔️ The leadership balance between strategic oversight and operational involvement
✔️ Lessons from real-world challenges, from cultural nuances to compliance and crisis management
✔️ The importance of data-driven planning, hybrid readiness, and sustainability

At Congrex Switzerland, we’re proud to support this inspiring series from Boardroom Magazine, produced in collaboration with ESAE – European Society of Association Executives.

Accessibility isn’t optional anymore, it’s becoming a legal requirement across Europe. ♿

The European Accessibility Act sets new standards for how digital experiences must be designed, from websites and apps to ticketing and registration tools.

Because accessibility isn’t just compliance — it’s care. 💜
