THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE OF THE XIX IBERO-LATIN AMERICAN COLLEGE OF DERMATOLOGY CONFERENCE, CILAD 2012, VISITED FIBES FACILITIES
The aim of the visit was for the Organizing Committee of the 2012 CILAD Conference to get to know the new FIBES Conference Hall on site
The Ibero-Latin American College of Dermatology has chosen Seville and FIBES, Seville’s Exhibition and Conference Hall, as the venue to hold the
XIX Ibero- Latin American College of Dermatology Conference, CILAD 2012, running from the 19th through to the 22nd September 2012.
To that aim, a visit was carried out last February 24th, both to the present facilities and those of FIBES expansion, so as to get first-hand
knowledge of the new spaces which will hold CILAD 2012.
The President of the Organizing Committee and promoter of the event, Dr. Julián Conejo-Mir, and other professionals of the sector have known on
site the superb, versatile possibilities of FIBES new Conference Hall.
This XIX Ibero-Latin American College of Dermatology Conference will be one of the first conference events to be held at FIBES new Conference
Hall and it is expected to welcome 4,000 members of the largest Spanish-Portuguese speaking dermatologic society in the world, made up by over
22 countries. This high number of conference delegates will have direct positive effect on the different sectors of the city, such as shopping,
hotels, public transport, taxi, etc.
After the visit, the organizers expressed their admiration to FIBES New Conference Hall, as they praised the many possibilities that
it offers.
Besides, FIBES still goes on with its active work on the field of Corporate Social Responsibility and on Social Issues, by holding significant,
relevant events. An example of this was the International Forum on Cooperativism, held last February 23rd, organized by CEPES Andalucía
(Andalusia’s Business Confederation of Social Economy) to celebrate the International Year of Cooperativism.
Nearly 1,000 attended the event at FIBES, with a wide representation of cooperative business, politics, economy and general society. In
this line, we should point out the participation of first-class speakers who dealt with the present economic and social situation, the prospects
for the future and the general role to be played by Social Economy and, especially, cooperative business to build up a world without unfair
economic and social elements.
This forum has enhanced the cooperative model as an alternative for the economic recovery and as a basement on which to build a new production
scenario, starting from parameters based on sustainability and social justice.
