As a leading world-class Professional Conference Organiser – PCO, with six decades of expertise in scientific, medical and professional associations, Kenes Group fully understands its role in enabling global knowledge exchange.
In the context of scientific advancement towards the improvement of patient outcomes, the relevance of DEI goes beyond representation, as it elevates the conversation within a field by providing a wider spectrum of research and testimonies from diverse sources, regions of the world, and socio-economic circumstances.

With this in mind, Kenes Group’s Sustainability Policy includes a section dedicated to DEI, aimed at improving both employees’ and partners’ practices that create long-lasting impact. Read them below:
It is one of Kenes core values to support DEI policies across all our activities, whether internal or external, concerning all people regardless of their ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, age, or other identities. We believe and embrace DEI in creating a workplace and organising events where everyone feels welcome, respected and valued.
Our strategy and initiatives show what DEI means to us, why it matters to us and how we approach it. We commit to continuous learning and improvement to create a more inclusive environment in all our offices, business strategies and operations, clients, associations, and events managed.
While Kenes Group’s commitment to DEI is well-known by the global team, the continuous challenge is to actively engage the numerous event partners and association leaders in the pursuit of these objectives, which ultimately represent enhanced collaboration and an overall greater experience for all.
Since its founding in 1992, Meeting Media Group, publisher of Headquarters Magazine (HQ), has been a trusted guide and voice for associations and the global MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry.
