CEO Willy Kausch founded K.I.T. Group as a Berlin-based Professional Conference Organiser with only a few employees. Since then, K.I.T. Group has grown into a leading association, conference and event management company with over 35 conferences and public events each year.
Our motto is Synergy & Competence. We pride ourselves on building sustainable relationships and consistently delivering innovative, reliable, high-end solutions.
The term SYNERGY describes the different divisions of K.I.T. Group cooperating strategically for the conference’s outcome. A successful conference combines knowledge and experience from the client and the organiser. Synergy also refers to the benefits our clients can expect from our expertise and extensive networks in medical conferences.
Our COMPETENCE in the field of medical conferences is our competitive advantage. It comprises our professionalism, know-how, expertise, and excellent client relationships.
As we move out of the confusion caused by the pandemic, our belief and passion for face-to-face events remain as strong as ever. Our customers and we are adapting to the realities of a rapidly changing and sometimes uncertain world. We know the need to stay agile, informed, and connected. Emerging technologies, massive demographic shifts, regulation, governance, and a new age of relative austerity mean that we must constantly evolve our strategy to serve the sector better and guarantee the value of your meetings.
We are committed to building our global presence and relationships, developing our human and technical resources, maintaining client synergies, creating more specialised solutions, and, most importantly: being reliable and discreet partners in your success.
With more than 170 pro-active and multi-disciplinary employees from more than 22 countries, K.I.T. Group has organised over 4,100 conferences across five continents for 50 to 28,000 participants in over 35 years.
Our staff come from various backgrounds, including event or tourism management, business, political studies, law, languages, and cultural leadership. This flexibility is an asset when we welcome delegates from all over the world.
As a global company, we wish to be able to give something back. Our Corporate Social Responsibility helps us administer our business processes in a way that positively impacts society and the world.
The continued improvement of trade show locations, the availability of practical infrastructure and as little bureaucracy as possible are their cause as much as ours. Our membership and active participation in and leadership of national and international organisations are part of our effort to enhance the smooth operation of trade events. Voluntary submission to the evaluation of these organisations also guarantees our commitment to the highest standards of quality for our clients.
