_______________________________________________________________________________ COMPANY PROFILE PARTNER FOR YOUR EVENTS – TURNKEY SUPPORT The "core business" of NeT Congress and Education is organising congresses and meetings world-wide. From planning and defining marketing strategies and promotional activities down to the fulfilment of logistical and organisational activities and administrative management: NeT supports Italian and international associations with creativity and promptness. NeT proposes itself as an innovative and assertive partner, who uses advanced technologies and state-ofthe-art instruments - a strategic partner for guaranteed ROI and image return. Over its many years of experience many associations have entrusted the development of their marketing and promotion plans to NeT in order to enhance their congress’ appeal and achieve the goal of increasing membership numbers. Every event you organise – a meeting, congress, product launch, trade fair or course – is a form of communication. After more than 30 years of experience in the meeting industry, NeT ensures that you communicate efficiently, guaranteeing a high ROI and image return. We market using well-defined goals: by planning, creating synergies, communications, excitement, investment, premium quality services and by meeting expectations and reaching your goals. BACKGROUND The complete congress administration and logistics will be carried out by NeT congress and Education, previously called Newtours, an internationally recognized PCO based in Florence, and one of the best PCO in Italy. NeT is one of the most important Italian companies in the events management sector, and it is a company part of Alessandro Rosso Group, one the most important Italian holding company with head office based in Milan, with offices also in Rome, Turin and Florence.. NEWTOURS started its activity in 1979 and has a great experience with complete congress administration, organization and management for a number of scientific national and international congresses up to some 10,000 participants. Founded in 1979 by Giuseppe Lepri, the company immediately channelled its activities towards the organization and management of all kinds of events connected with association’s conferences, corporate communication and training, incentives and promotion, operating at both national and international level. From the very beginning, the primary objective of the company has been to constantly expand and perfect the professionalism of the human resources available, and to consistently update technology and know-how to keep pace with the expansion and consolidation of its mission within the market.

The operative synergy developed with numerous collaborators of proven professionalism and reliability has made a decisive contribution to the elaboration and optimisation of top-level techniques and procedures, such as to guarantee the perfect success of every event. Attentive analysis of objectives, precise planning of procedures and initiatives, identification and utilisation of the most appropriate instruments, expert management of logistical aspects and application of communication strategies; these are the fundamentals which, over a span of more than twenty years have made Net into a service company boasting consolidated experience in the sector of conventions, incentive and promotional campaigns, product launches, special events, conferences, congresses, meetings and much more, without ever losing sight of the basic concepts of its philosophy: “rationality” and “creativity”. Over time, these concepts have proved to be a guarantee for our clients, establishing a consistent customer loyalty that is fruit of a global offer of prime quality. Net customers have also become friends, sharing work experiences and creating a bond which can now be considered truly indissoluble. This success in customer relations has always been based on reciprocal trust and on the confidence of being able to find – within a single entity – that combination of competencies, services and professionalism which can serve up the event on a platter of supreme quality. After all these years of work, we can proudly declare that any customer who has come to Net has remained with us. Net is a member of the most important sector associations and, thanks to its dynamism and its ongoing attention to novelties, in recent years has achieved recognition and awards from various organisations. But the most prestigious “prize” of all, the real reward, is the loyalty of our customers, whether in the sector of banking, finance, insurance, automobiles, pharmaceuticals or others, who in these “first 30 years” have awarded Net the most sought-after and gratifying prize of all: their satisfaction.
