Harnessing Technology for Surgery
The success of any corporate event lies in the hands of the organisers, as much as the corporate hosting the event. Vattikuti Global Robotics 2012 International Conference, held from January 13-15, 2012 at Taj Palace Hotel, New Delhi, is one such example where the meticulous and dedicated workforce of KW Conferences pulled off a great show.
The conference, with the vision towards making robotic surgery and other technologically advanced medical procedures of the future costeffective and available to underprivileged communities, saw delegates travelling from various Indian cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata and Bengaluru; while the speakers for the event had arrived mainly from USA, UK and Europe.
The event required a convergence of specialists from various fields of medical science such as Urology, Gynaecology, ENT, Cardio-vascular, Hepato-billary and Thoracic.
The Organisers
KW Conferences was a part of this event right from the conceptualising stage to the planning of the conference and the lecture series. They were involved in the entire logistics, from registration, managing the halls and organising catering to speaker preparation and the social evenings.
Statistics of the Event
KW Conferences managed 58 people of the faculty as speakers and presenters from all over the world, and
278 delegates from across the country. The delegates were mainly surgeons and doctors from leading hospitals, researchers and medical students.
There were six lectures delivered in six different cities within two weeks, “Which were all organised by us and we had our staff in the cities taking care of the marketing, visiting hospitals to create awareness and get doctors to register and attend the lectures,” informed Monimita Sarkar, Managing Director, KW Conferences.
Preparing for the event
As a part of the pre-event promotional activities, KW had 6-7 rounds of electronic mailing sessions, continuous updates of the website, telecalling, actual visits to hospitals, advertising in Association journals and websites.
Also, KW carefully managed challenges such as executing three parallel sessions focussing on different specialities like Urology, Gynaecology, ENT, Cardiovascular, Hepato-billary, Thoracic, etc.
Post conference tour to Agra
After a successfully concluded conference, KW also organised a luxurious and comfortable day-trip for the 13 faculty members, to Agra. The delegates, travelled by a Volvo coach, spent their morning at the Taj Mahal and after a sumptuous lunch at the Maurya, they went to the Agra Fort. The trip was planned to accommodate time for shopping, photographs and gifts, thereby making the trip a memorable experience for all.
