Descriptiontext

MediCongress GmbH is a privately held, founder-owned Swiss event-management and continuing-education company founded in 2011 by CEO Doris Brandenberger and headquartered in Dübendorf, Switzerland. The company organizes in-person, virtual, and hybrid congresses for the Swiss healthcare sector, with a recurring portfolio of proprietary brands including the DRG Forum (now DRG & MORE), e-healthcare CIRCLE, Urology Arena (now in its 23rd edition), Kleopatra, FutureFit, Mission Cyber, EUPHORIA, and the Kommunikations Summit, supplemented by Professional Congress Organizer (PCO) services for third-party clients such as SAKK, Schulthess Klinik, and Fokus Herz Bern. Its core technology stack consists of a web-based event registration platform (events.medicongress.ch), the MediCongress Academy learning management system for video-based professional courses, and an in-house film studio launched in 2020 for producing virtual congress content.

MediCongress generates revenue through per-attendee registration fees for its own and third-party congresses, individual Academy video courses priced at CHF 95, module bundles at CHF 450 each, Q&A add-on sessions at CHF 125, the CAS Performance Management in Healthcare program at CHF 9,500, and EUPHORIA congress memberships at CHF 95, with corporate/team packages handled via direct inquiry. Distribution is primarily domestic through online self-serve registration, the Academy storefront, and direct account management, supported by a network of over 50 partner organizations across Swiss hospitals, insurers, medical associations, and technology firms (including Google Cloud, Zühlke, Philips, Siemens Healthcare, FMH, H+, and Santésuisse) that co-promote congresses and supply speakers. The company also operates the Freitagspost newsletter, maintains active social media profiles, and publishes post-event reports via media partners such as clinicum, Competence (H+), and Medinside. The organization remains small (1–10 employees), bootstrapped, and concentrated almost entirely on the Swiss market, with limited but real international activity dating to its first international congress in 2016.

Its core technology stack consists of a web-based event registration platform (events.medicongress.ch), the MediCongress Academy learning management system for video-based professional courses, and an in-house film studio launched in 2020 for producing virtual congress content.

MediCongress generates revenue through per-attendee registration fees for its own and third-party congresses, individual Academy video courses priced at CHF 95, module bundles at CHF 450 each, Q&A add-on sessions at CHF 125, the CAS Performance Management in Healthcare program at CHF 9,500, and EUPHORIA congress memberships at CHF 95, with corporate/team packages handled via direct inquiry. Distribution is primarily domestic through online self-serve registration, the Academy storefront, and direct account management, supported by a network of over 50 partner organizations across Swiss hospitals, insurers, medical associations, and technology firms (including Google Cloud, Zühlke, Philips, Siemens Healthcare, FMH, H+, and Santésuisse) that co-promote congresses and supply speakers. The company also operates the Freitagspost newsletter, maintains active social media profiles, and publishes post-event reports via media partners such as clinicum, Competence (H+), and Medinside. The organization remains small (1–10 employees), bootstrapped, and concentrated almost entirely on the Swiss market, with limited but real international activity dating to its first international congress in 2016.
