About
Athens
… one of the world’s oldest cities, a centre for the arts, learning and philosophy.
… the home of Hippocrates, known as the “Father of Modern Medicine”.
… and from May 21-24 2018, the venue for the IMTJ Medical Travel Summit 2018.
The 2018 IMTJ Medical Travel Summit will take place at the 5 star Wyndham Grand in Athens. The IMTJ Medical Travel Summit is a high level event aimed at senior decision makers involved in the medical tourism and international patient market. There are many conferences and congresses that have grown up around the industry; most have failed to deliver the content that delegates want and to address the major issues that face the industry.
Over the past 3 years in Croatia, Madrid and London, we proved that it’s possible to deliver a medical travel event that delivers GREAT value to delegates, sponsors and exhibitors. Read the FEEDBACK on the 2017 Summit.
We are delighted to be working with the Elitour – the Greek Medical Tourism Council to deliver a successful event in the historic city of Athens in 2018.

Testimonials
Having participated since the first IMTJ Summit I am sure that no other organization (than Intuition Communication) is able to organize such a professional event and to bring THE medical travel professionals together in one event. The perfect marketplace for business and exchange with decision makers.
Who said medical travel conferences have to be boring? Speakers who present hard facts – not fluff, practical learnings instead of promotions, and a highly entertaining program makes this the first choice for any medical travel professional looking to move their business forward
As a Global medical tour operator and provider of neutral second opinions, there is no better industry event at which to meet with industry peers, vendors and potential business partners. The IMTJ Medical Travel Summit provides an excellent opportunity for us to raise our profile and to initiate important business discussions with senior decision makers.
The event was very well organised and highly professional and the speakers were carefully selected and presented hard-fought data.
