There’s nothing quite like the scale and energy of ESMO. The conversations move fast, the stakes are high, and coordination is everything.

This year, Event Cadence powered nearly 40 percent of all meeting rooms at the congress, helping life sciences teams bring structure to the busiest week in oncology. From hundreds of HCP and stakeholder meetings to real-time scheduling and visibility across continents, our platform made it possible to execute with clarity and precision.

ESMO 2025: Global Scale Meets Precision Execution

From the buzz of Messe Berlin to hotel meeting suites across the city, ESMO 2025 showcased the power of structure and visibility at scale.

With 145 rooms across 10 major pharmaceutical partners and a 35-person Event Cadence team onsite, hundreds of high-value HCP and stakeholder meetings ran seamlessly from start to finish.

Whether in private rooms, hotel suites, or booth spaces, every interaction was managed through Event Cadence. Each engagement was captured, tracked, and connected to larger business goals. The complexity stayed behind the scenes, and the results were easy to see.

The Platform That Makes It Possible

The Appointments and Engagements Suite was once again the engine behind seamless execution.

Every account used the platform in a way that reflected their own internal workflows. Some focused on high-volume HCP scheduling, while others prioritized targeted Medical Affairs meetings. Each approach was supported by the same foundation of clarity and coordination.

What Stood Out

  1. Smart Scheduling: Teams and customers booked directly from live calendars that reflected true availability.
  2. Conflict Detection: Automatic alerts prevented overlap and kept schedules clean.
  3. Centralized Visibility: Every meeting, room, and stakeholder accessible in one connected view.
  4. Immediate Reporting: Post-event summaries and analytics available as soon as ESMO concluded.

Two new pilot accounts also joined the platform for the first time. Both completed successful implementations from setup through onsite execution, a reflection of how intuitive the platform is and how ready our Customer Success team is to guide new users from day one.

Behind the Scenes: People Make the Difference

Technology drives efficiency, but it’s our people who make it happen.

Our 35-person onsite team managed everything from last-minute schedule adjustments to device setup and support, ensuring every customer felt confident and covered.

Between sessions, there was time to connect, share insights, and recharge together. [Insert team moment or photo caption.]

Turning Insights Into Action

As soon as the final meetings wrapped, teams already had what they needed to act. Every appointment, interaction, and outcome from ESMO was logged in Event Cadence, ready for review and analysis.

The best part is how quickly accounts can report on results. No waiting weeks for data, no manual reconciliation, no uncertainty. Just clear, actionable insights that help Medical, Commercial, and Operations teams plan what comes next.
