Testimonial: Renate Aeberhard, CCDE, project assistant, organization of events and congresses

“In August of 2019, we organized and held the CORLAS meeting in Bern with some 290 national and international participants. In addition to the multi-day congress at Kursaal Bern, we offered tourist events and excursions that were planned and realized with the help of Bern Welcome. Bern Welcome was responsible for the hotel room quotas and coordinating the room reservations, which was very helpful for us and facilitated the organization. Thanks to the experience and services of Bern Welcome, we were able to offer attractive tours and have participants get to know Bern as a destination. The tour guides were excellent and contributed significantly to the fact that the city and region of Bern made a great and lasting impression on our guests. We thank the team at Bern Welcome for the wonderful collaboration and look forward to further projects with them.”

Testimonial: Prof. Tosso Leeb, VetSuisse

“Bern Welcome did a wonderful job at organizing the 10th International Conference on Canine and Feline Genetics and Genomics. I was very competently advised and supported and was able to choose from specific services. The conference was a huge success and we received nothing but positive feedback from the participants. I will gladly work with Bern Welcome again in the future.”

Working with Bern Welcome was always uncomplicated, and we are very happy with their service. I highly recommend the Bern Convention Bureau.”
