ISPE’s 12th Asian Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology and 25th Japanese Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology Joint Meeting

www.jtbw-mice.com/acpe2019/

After successfully managing the 2017 conference in Brisbane, Expert Events was engaged by ISPE and the local organising committees of the subsequent conferences in Xi’an, China (2018) and Kyoto, Japan (2019) to provide specialised support managing the development and implementation of the conference program, including symposia and abstract submission, the review process, speaker liaison and facilitating international scholarships. The next conference will be held in Seoul, South Korea in 2020 and we look forward to supporting the local conference organising committee again.

The International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE) is a non-profit international professional membership organisation dedicated to advancing the health of the public by providing a forum for the open exchange of scientific information and for the development of policy; education; and advocacy for the field of pharmacoepidemiology, including pharmacovigilance, drug utilization research, outcomes research, comparative effectiveness research, and therapeutic risk management.

ISPE convenes an International Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology each year, as well as a regional Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology in Asia. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss key issues in pharmacoepidemiology through plenaries, podium presentations and posters as well as symposia where experts address topics of interest in the field. A preliminary day is also scheduled in which educational sessions are available at both basic and more advanced levels. These meetings offer an excellent opportunity for networking and social interaction with colleagues engaged in pharmacoepidemiology in Government, industry and academia.

Lasting connections and successful conference experiences

I am thrilled to express my heartfelt gratitude to Expert Events for their exceptional support during the DATTA Australia and WA State Conference. Stephanie and Kelly were an absolute pleasure to work with, displaying unparalleled professionalism and dedication. No problem was too challenging for them to tackle, and their commitment to ensuring a flawless event was truly commendable.

Stephanie and Kelly went above and beyond our expectations, demonstrating a remarkable level of expertise and resourcefulness. Their meticulous planning and attention to detail played a pivotal role in the seamless execution of the conference. Every aspect, from logistics to coordination, was handled with precision, making our event a resounding success.

The entire experience working with Expert Events was nothing short of fantastic. Their proactive approach, problem-solving skills, and genuine passion for their work shone through at every stage. I wholeheartedly recommend Expert Events to anyone seeking a top-notch event management team. Thanks to them, our conference was not only a success but an enjoyable and stress-free experience for all involved.

Expert Events provides outstanding support in the organisation of our annual conferences. They are extremely professional, take initiative and are quick to implement our requests. I would highly recommend Expert Events for taking the stress out of large conferences as well as smaller meetings.

It was such a relief to have an expert of such stature taking care of every detail. The summit ran so very smoothly, with no single detail out of place. But it was the preparation and planning that really impressed me the most. You led these details so beautifully and contributed to the other aspects of the summit and the meetings were a pleasure to be part of.

Thank you very much.

Dr Sue Ogilvy

Program Director, Farming for the Future Summit

Given their experience and expertise in event management, we immediately engaged Expert Events to help us plan and execute a Summit event.

Their ability to innovate for solutions and their attention to detail are a couple of the factors for their success. They are superb communicators maintaining open and clear communication with all parties involved to ensure that everyone was on the same page and that the event ran smoothly. Their adaptability and flexibility meant we could have confidence in the event being a success, even though things changed as we progressed through the planning stages. The team at Expert Events made us feel like we were their only client and their commitment to our needs was extraordinary.

I would highly recommend Expert Events.

Thank you for your outstanding work on the HERDSA conference. You supported us in delivering exactly the conference we and our members envisaged. You were friendly, professional, organised and clear throughout the three years it took to organise the conference.

Thank you for your work, and for your positive impact on the Australian tertiary education sector. Expert Events is awesome.

Prof Christy Collis

The Expert Events team have been a wonderful addition to the ‘extended’ Rural Medicine Australia (RMA) conference team – and supported both virtual and face to face event delivery of RMA. They have been nothing short of professional, friendly and efficient since we first started working with them in 2020. The EE team respectfully offered guidance throughout the planning process; provided current industry knowledge for consideration; were willing to try new approaches and technologies, and were always on-hand to reassure and support. They also brought a fantastic sense of humour and fun – which was important for the culture of our event. There is no doubt they contributed to the incredibly successful delivery of our conferences during the challenges of the pandemic. We think they are RMA-zing…

Your team was marvellous – so supportive and professional. I have received loads of feedback (about the 2022 Trauma-Aware Schooling Conference), all very positive.

Thanks for helping us make our online conference such a wonderful experience for organisers, speakers and attendees. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others and will definitely use Expert Events again.
