The congress format today
A congress is not a long convention.
The congress is the strategic B2B format of 2026. It brings an entire sector together around a scientific, technical or corporate programme over several days. It differs from the convention because it is not internal: it convenes competitors, institutions, specialist press and international delegations at the same venue. It differs from the seminar because it operates at industrial scale (hundreds or thousands of attendees) and requires multi-room technical production, simultaneous translation and structured hospitality. It differs from the workshop because it doesn't resolve in a morning: the congress occupies the sector's calendar.
The 2026 trend is hybrid and sustainable. Professional streaming for remote attendees, a congress app with a personalised agenda, paperless digital materials, venue criteria with environmental certification. The in-person attendee pays for the experience that streaming doesn't replicate: directed networking, VIP hospitality, off-the-record content in parallel formats.
B2B congresses at Bacus
The logistics disappear so the content stays whole.
Bacus operates as a Professional Congress Organiser (PCO) when the client commissions full management. The production team handles registrations, accreditations, payment management, speaker coordination, multi-room technical production, hospitality and post-event certification. If the institution has its own scientific committee, Bacus works as the executive arm of their decisions without encroaching on the content.
Typical timelines for a congress produced by Bacus range from two to nine months depending on scale. A sector congress of 200–400 attendees with a fixed programme is manageable in two to three months from the brief. An international congress of 1,000–2,000 attendees with a multilateral scientific committee requires six to nine months to secure venue, anchor speakers and travel logistics. The earlier the project begins, the more control there is over critical sector dates.
Technical capability
Multi-room production with editorial judgement.
The technical scope of a Bacus congress covers four layers. Attendee logistics: online registration, QR-code accreditation, payment management, capacity control in plenary and parallel sessions. Programme: coordination with national and international speakers, material review, technical rehearsal, stage direction. Technical: professional multi-camera streaming, sound for plenary and simultaneous break-outs, simultaneous translation via booth or digital app, session recording for post-event delivery. Hospitality: speaker hosting, airport-hotel-venue transport, institutional dinner, VIP lounge, congress app with personalised agenda and live surveys.
The usual attendance range runs from 200 to 2,000 people. The team has operational experience in medical-scientific congresses, technology congresses, academic university gatherings and corporate sector congresses.
Geography and venues
National, international, multi-city.
Bacus produces congresses in Barcelona as the primary base and also operates in Madrid, Valencia, Seville and other Spanish capitals. For international congresses we coordinate production from the studio and deploy trusted local crews at the destination (Lisbon, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam and other European capitals as needed).
The venues we work with in Spain cover the mid-to-high end of the professional market. In Barcelona: CCIB, Fira Barcelona Gran Via and Montjuïc, Auditorio AXA, Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau and congress-capable hotels (W, Mandarin Oriental, Hotel Arts). In Madrid: IFEMA, municipal congress palaces and five-star hotels. Venue selection is tailored to the brief: capacity, programme type, attendee profile, budget, access and evacuation plan.
On published cases
Some archives are closed.
Several congresses produced by Bacus operate under active non-disclosure agreements. Institutional and corporate clients in the sector sometimes apply contractual restrictions that prevent publishing images, brand names, attendance figures or technical details without prior formal authorisation. Bacus strictly respects those agreements and prefers not to publish at all rather than publish with blurred logos or generic data.
To access specific references for this category — including unpublished cases — contact the team directly. Initial conversations are covered by mutual NDA when the client requires it.
Frequently asked questions · Congresses
What they ask before booking this format.
Typical lead times for a Bacus-produced congress range from two to nine months depending on scale. A 200–400 attendee sector congress with a closed programme can be delivered reasonably in two or three months from brief. A 1,000–2,000 attendee international congress with a multilateral scientific committee and anchor speakers requires six to nine months to secure the venue, hospitality and travel logistics. The earlier the project starts, the more control there is over sector-critical dates.
Yes. Bacus produces congresses across Spain (Barcelona as base, Madrid, Valencia, Seville and other capitals) and coordinates international congresses from the studio with trusted local teams in each destination. Usual European destinations: Lisbon, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam, Berlin. Project direction and contractual responsibility remain with Bacus; field operations are executed with verified production in each city.
In Barcelona: CCIB, Fira Barcelona Gran Via and Montjuïc, AXA Auditorium, Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau and hotels with congress capacity (W, Mandarin Oriental, Hotel Arts). In Madrid: IFEMA, municipal congress palaces and five-star hotels with plenary rooms. Venue choice is adjusted to the brief: capacity, programme type, attendee profile, budget and evacuation plan. After the initial brief we propose two or three compared options.
Bacus operates as a PCO (Professional Congress Organiser) when the client contracts full organisation. If the institution has its own scientific committee, the team acts as its executive arm: coordinates with national and international speakers, reviews materials, plans the technical rehearsal and directs the stage. If there is no prior committee, Bacus can propose verified external content direction according to the congress speciality.
Bacus produces sector congresses of any type when the client contracts professional organisation. The team has operational experience in scientific-health congresses, technology congresses, university academic gatherings and corporate sector congresses. The technical format varies (multi-room, streaming, simultaneous translation, VIP hospitality) but the logistical rigour is the same: the attendee's attention must remain entirely on the content.
Yes. The hybrid format is the 2026 norm, not the exception. Bacus integrates multi-camera professional streaming for remote attendees, a congress app with a personalised agenda, live cross-channel polls, session recording for post-event delivery and paperless digital materials. The in-person attendee pays for the experience streaming cannot replicate: directed networking, hospitality and off-the-record content in parallel formats.
Several congresses produced by Bacus operate under active confidentiality agreements. Institutional and corporate clients in this sector sometimes apply contractual restrictions that prevent publishing images, brand names, attendance figures or technical details without prior formal authorisation. Bacus respects those agreements and prefers not to publish rather than publishing with blurred branding or generic data. To find out about specific references (including unpublished cases) contact the team directly; the initial conversation is covered under mutual NDA when the client requires it.
The budget for a corporate event depends on the format, number of attendees, venue and level of technical production. The B2B projects Bacus produces range from the mid-to-high bracket (internal conventions, smaller launches) up to award-winning productions with more than a thousand attendees. The right way to answer is to send you a detailed proposal after a brief: client, approximate date, number of attendees, event objective and city. We respond within 24 business hours.
For corporate conventions of more than 200 attendees we recommend starting the brief a minimum of three months in advance. For product launches, congresses and formal galas the reasonable lead time is four to six months. For more operational events (team building, company lunches) we also work with shorter timelines of 4–6 weeks if the diary allows. The earlier we start, the more options you will have for venue, dates and technical production.
Full production means Bacus handles the project from start to finish: creative concept, venue search and booking, space design and set, technical production (sound, video, lighting, simultaneous translation), supplier management (catering, furniture, AV, artists), logistics coordination, attendee management (registration, transport, hospitality), on-the-day direction and professional post-event documentation. You hand over the brief; we hand back the produced event.
An events production company typically executes what it receives (technical setup, AV, logistics). An agency like Bacus Events works from the creative concept, defines the format, proposes a narrative and directs the experience creatively. At Bacus we combine both layers under one roof: creative direction and executive production in the same brief from day one. We do not subcontract the client conversation: the team that designs the event is the same team that delivers it.
Yes. Although the studio is based at Carrer de Sardenya 83 (Barcelona), Bacus produces events across Spain and internationally according to client needs. We have produced events in Madrid, Valencia, Seville, the Basque Country, Lisbon and other European destinations. When a client needs an event outside Barcelona, we direct the project from the studio and deploy trusted local production in each destination.
First contact: you tell us about the event (format, approximate date, attendees, objective, city, indicative budget). Initial meeting: we go deeper into the brief and answer questions. Initial proposal within two weeks: concept, venue options, proposed format, detailed budget by block. Iterations until a firm proposal is agreed. Production and event delivery. Post-event documentation: summary video, metrics and digital asset handover.
All photos in the project archive are from the real event produced by Bacus, with a verifiable client and date. We do not use renders, we do not use stock images and we do not dress other people's events with our own branding. If a case appears in the archive, we produced it. When the Eventoplus medal appears, it is because the industry jury recognised that specific piece of work, not the general track record.
