More than 15,000 Delegates Expected to Attend Congress and Event at FYCMA in May and June By the end of June, Malaga's Tradeshow and Congress Centre (FYCMA) will have hosted a number congresses and corporate events, totalling more than 15,000 delegates attending a number congresses and corporate events, and generating revenues in the region of four million Euros for the city.

The centre’s event agenda features five medical-health industry congresses, with the attendance of 7,000 European specialists in different medical fields, addressing matters concerning the treatment and diagnosis of diseases, as well as new applications in the field of prevention.

The 2nd Diabesity Congress, the first of these events, was held from 7-8 May. Some 600 delegates from Spain and Europe analyzed the current situation of diabetes and obesity, as well as new treatment trends and tools.

Likewise, FYCMA hosted the 38th National Dermatology and Venereology Congress which, sponsored by the Spanish Academy, covers both specialities. The congress was attended by 2,000 delegates.

Afterwards, the 11th National Congress of the Spanish Association for the Study of Menopause was held at the centre from 1-4 June, with the attendance of approximately 1,000 specialists. This will be followed on 11th June by the General Assembly of FENITEL (Federation of Telecommunications Installers), which will bring together over 500 trade professionals.
