CZECH-IN

What CZECH-IN does

C-IN (legal entity CZECH-IN s.r.o.) is a Europe-based Professional Congress Organiser headquartered in Prague 4, Czech Republic, with a representative office opened in Vilnius, Lithuania in April 2025. The firm provides end-to-end congress and event management to international scientific societies, medical associations, academic bodies, and government institutions, organising recurring flagship congresses (e.g., EISA Pan-European Conference, ICHEP, ESCP Tripartite Meeting, ESDR Annual Meeting) with delegate counts ranging from roughly 200 to more than 3,300. In 2024 the firm delivered 21 events spanning 13 countries and three continents, processing over 7,700 abstracts and welcoming more than 15,000 participants with a team of approximately 50 professionals.

The service portfolio is built as an integrated stack of PCO modules rather than standalone products: custom conference websites, bespoke mobile event applications, online and onsite registration systems, abstract and speaker management platforms, graphic design and event branding, social programme coordination, and sustainability-oriented event planning. C-IN also operates an AI-powered live translation feature, implemented through the Wordly platform and first deployed at the World Art Therapy Festival 2025 across English, Czech, and Slovak. The firm holds IAPCO membership (the first registered Czech member since 2013) and successfully completed IAPCO's five-year quality review in 2025.

Revenue is generated on a project basis per congress, with multi-year engagement contracts and pricing negotiated directly with each association or government client based on event scale, delegate count, programme complexity, and the module mix selected. Distribution is exclusively direct B2B, with client acquisition driven by industry reputation, IAPCO network credibility, and long-cycle relationship development with scientific association leadership. The firm does not publicly disclose pricing, revenue, or profit margins.
