10 simultaneous sessions, 4,000 square meters of exhibition, 5,500 room nights booked, 93 sponsors, 5,800 box lunches booked, 350 speakers, and more than 4n000 participants attending: these are the fact sheets of the 2016 WUWHS Congress – World Union of Wound Healing Societies, that will be held from September 25 to 29 at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence.
The bid has been submitted in 2012 by the PCO International Congress Centre of Turin (CCI), with the support of the Florence Convention and Visitors Bureau (FCVB), Tecnoconference-TC Group and Firenze Fiera, the company that manages the Congress Citadel of Florence. A collaboration that worked very well, giving important results which will allow Florence to host this high scientific value congress with an economic impact of more than 3 million Euros.
