AC Forum President Tracy Bury said: “AC Forum is keen to enhance its educational opportunities for its members who come from European and International associations, 90% of whom are based in the health sector. To deliver successful events, that focus on the mission driven objectives of associations, requires partnerships and the collaborative advantage that comes from working with suppliers who know how they can contribute and bring benefits to delivering impactful international healthcare meetings.
