This includes coordinating all aspects of the program development, managing communication with clients, speakers, and participants, and overseeing related logistics.

online) related to the program

• Create, edit, and proofread English content for conference publications
• Oversee the scientific program across digital platforms (e.g., abstract

systems, mobile apps, virtual platforms, webcasting, recordings, voting), including updates and quality assurance

• Manage the program onsite, including faculty interactions, last-minute

changes, and smooth event execution

• Plan and prioritize tasks efficiently while adhering to tight deadlines

• Minimum 2 years of professional experience in program management, project

coordination or a similar event planning role (experience with scientific or medical conferences is a plus);
