EMDR Europe 2025: How Kuoni Tumlare Congress Delivered a Hybrid Scientific Conference in Prague
Inside the EMDR Europe Conference 2025
The 2025 edition, held in Prague from 30 May to 1 June, welcomed delegates from across the global EMDR community. The multi-day programme featured keynote presentations, workshops and parallel scientific sessions, creating opportunities for both knowledge exchange and professional networking.
Kuoni Tumlare Congress was appointed as Professional Congress Organiser, responsible for delivering comprehensive planning, operational management and hybrid technology integration. The congress successfully combined in-person participation with virtual access, ensuring an inclusive and accessible experience for all attendees.
Following the event, Nicolas Montet, Project Manager of the EMDR Europe Research & Practice Conference 2025, shared insights into the strategic planning, technology solutions and operational approach that supported the successful delivery of the congress.
Why Prague Was the Right Venue for a European Scientific Congress
Prague offered an excellent combination of accessibility, infrastructure and delegate appeal. Its central European location made it convenient for international participants, while its established congress facilities and cultural environment provided an engaging setting for a scientific meeting of this scale.
The presence of Kuoni Tumlare Congress's local office was also a significant advantage. Our Prague-based team brought strong local knowledge, supplier relationships and operational expertise, enabling efficient planning and seamless on-site coordination.
How Hybrid Technology Extended Reach for In-Person and Virtual Delegates
The hybrid format allowed the congress to reach a wider audience while ensuring accessibility for participants unable to attend in person. The virtual platform enabled remote delegates to follow live sessions, participate in discussions and access congress content.
In addition to enhancing the delegate experience, the integrated technology ecosystem supported essential operational functions, including registration management, communication and programme coordination.
Managing a Multi-Track Programme: Operational Complexity and How We Resolved It
The congress included multiple parallel sessions, each requiring careful coordination between speakers, technical teams and venue staff. Delivering a programme of this complexity required detailed preparation and strong project management.
Our experienced Prague-based team ensured smooth coordination across all sessions, supported by specialised congress management systems and clear operational processes.
Digital Platform Features That Drove Delegate Engagement at EMDR Europe 2025
Networking tools were particularly valuable in facilitating interaction between delegates. The Meeting Hub allowed participants to connect, schedule meetings and engage with peers throughout the congress.
Additional features, including live Q&A sessions and access to session materials and recordings, helped extend engagement beyond the live presentations and supported continued knowledge exchange.
Remote Interpretation in 7 Languages: Making a European Congress Truly Accessible
Providing interpretation in seven languages significantly improved accessibility and inclusivity. Coordinating interpretation remotely enabled greater flexibility while maintaining high-quality delivery.
This approach reduced logistical complexity and allowed efficient management of multilingual support for both in-person and virtual participants.
Technology and the Future of Scientific Congress Management
Technology is increasingly central to both operational efficiency and the delegate experience. Integrated digital platforms support registration, communication and programme management while enabling greater engagement.
Future developments will allow further personalisation of the congress experience, helping organisers deliver more targeted content and improved networking opportunities.
Attendee Service Portals: The Biggest Single Driver of Congress Delegate Experience
The attendee service portal played an important role in simplifying the participant journey. It provided centralised access to schedules, documents and updates, ensuring delegates had the information they needed throughout the congress.
This type of integrated solution supports both operational efficiency and a more seamless experience for participants.
