What studio e.r. congressi srl does

Studio E.R. Congressi Srl is a Bologna-based Italian company, founded in 1981, that specializes in turnkey ('chiavi in mano') organization of medical-scientific congresses, conferences, postgraduate courses, and corporate events for the healthcare sector. Since December 2015 it has operated as an accredited ECM (Continuing Medical Education) Provider under the Italian Commissione Nazionale per la Formazione Continua (identification code 828), delivering both residential (RES) and distance-learning (FAD) accredited events through a documented scientific committee oversight process and a Quality Management System certified to UNI EN ISO 9001:2015. The firm also hosts the permanent secretariats of five leading Italian hematology scientific societies — SIE, SIES, GITMO, FISiM and SITE — providing ongoing membership administration, communications, and event coordination, and operates dedicated society websites (e.g., siesonline.it, gitmo.it, fisimematologia.it, site-italia.org) and an online ECM certificate issuance portal.

The company's revenue model is built on professional services fees for congress and event organization (venue sourcing, sponsorship, logistics, ECM accreditation handling) billed primarily to scientific societies and pharmaceutical sponsors. Its go-to-market is event-driven and relationship-based: long-term institutional partnerships with scientific society leadership, supplemented by direct engagement with major pharmaceutical companies seeking HCP audience access under Italian CME regulations. Distribution is exclusively domestic (Italy), via direct sales to societies and pharma, with self-serve online registration for individual healthcare professionals. The firm is privately held, founder/owner-managed, with Elisabetta Tura as CEO (Amministratore Delegato) and Lorenza Bagnara as COO (Direttore Operativo), and has adopted an organizational Model 231 pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001. Share capital is €15,000 and the company operates from a single Bologna headquarters (Via De' Poeti, 1/7).
