Geneva Holds Your Health as a Priority

With more than 100 venues and hotels registered as safe spaces, special sanitary measures and, last but not least, a traditional savoir-faire, Geneva offers ideal conditions for your event’s participants. We gathered some of the expertise that makes it a perfect destination even during these exceptional months.

A professional, financial and diplomatic city located right in the middle of Europe, Geneva hosts the highest number of international organisations in the world. It has great global connections and the comfortable size of a walkable city between its lake and Monte Bianco. Its top rated International Airport is at less than 10 minutes drive from the major attractions. There are over 14,000 beds, including luxury five stars, to host you during your stay.

Everything in place to welcome you in the best conditions

The Clean & Safe label, supported by Switzerland Tourism, ensures that Geneva’s service providers are taking all necessary measures to protect guests, from social distancing to implemented hygiene rules. These protocols are based on rules for hygiene and behaviour, as well as protection guidelines for employees, both issued by the local authorities. Business event organisers, accommodation, catering, public transport... the city’s professionals are putting everything in place to cope with the sanitary situation and protect their guests.

They trust Geneva

These are the reasons why the city was able to host Joint Meeting 2020 SSI-SSHH during three days last September. For the first time, the two Swiss societies (Swiss Society of Infectious Diseases or SSI, and Swiss Hospital Hygiene Society or SSHH) organised a joint annual meeting, which gathered 270 participants and 80 exhibitors in Palexpo, the second largest congress centre in Switzerland. At the end of the event - entirely live with plenary sessions, parallel sessions and an exhibition area - organisers and attendees considered all conditions fulfilled and the face-to-face exchange particularly valuable.

And, as part of its next steps, Geneva will host the 1st International Association Forum (GIAF), which will take place at the InterContinental Hotel Geneva from the 5th to the 6th of November. GIAF’s primary mission is bringing together Europeans, international associations and non-profit organisations to share knowledge, best practices and design initiatives to resolve common challenges. After a careful discussion to make sure that participants will attend the meeting safely, organisers chose a hybrid meeting solution with interactive workshops, conferences, roundtables and knowledge-sharing opportunities.

Your success is guaranteed, thanks to Swiss professionalism and a safe environment

Geneva, also known as the ‘capital of peace’, offers you top-quality congress infrastructure, a high level of expertise in several domains and a powerful network. Furthermore, it is fully able to organise virtual or hybrid events. That’s the case of the GIAF forum, where associations and industry peers from around the world will be able to join the event and take part in the discussion virtually.

A traditional expertise at hosting international events, stability and a safe environment, all make Geneva the perfect city for your events, even during these exceptional times.
