OUR DYNAMIC STORY

Lena Corporation started its historic journey in communication back in 1960 (at the time known as Publi Créations) at the heart of Monaco’s international environment.

Driven by the experience of Enzo Buongiorno – a pioneer of European meeting management – by 1990 it had developed into a fully-fledged Professional Congress Organiser. Over the following years the company steadily widened its horizons internationally, becoming the preferred partner of several global associations and organisations. This expansion was thanks to the direction of Marino Lena, who brought his invaluable long-serving experience of international health sector management.

Mauro Lena’s management developed through two key dimensions: geographical expansion and cultural diversity. This approach has ensured a presence in different countries, as each country presents unique competitive advantages that the Lena Group aims to leverage for the benefit of its customers and partners. Within this vision, the Lena Group was formally established in 2022 and, since then, has continually expanded its geographical and cultural reach.

A customised approach, flexibility, multiculturalism, the presence across multiple time zones, and the ability to engage with stakeholders in various languages provide our clients with high-quality products that offer a true international human touch.

Lena Group … Your Preferred Partner.

What you say about us

Timothy R. Aksamit

“Fantastic job. You have set the bar very high in so many ways. Enjoyed the great content, excellent speakers and incredibly well organized meeting. In some ways had more in attendance and participation than otherwise may have been possible with a face to face meeting. Strong work on an incredible effort and product.”

Roald Bahr

“I personally value the amazing work carried out by you and your entire team to ensure that every one of our events have exceeded its objectives.
Your group has some genuinely outstanding people. Iris Tetelli and Denise Davide have been huge assets in the build-up of our projects and preparation of the scientific program content, always there when we needed them and taking on so much of our workload. Benedetta Boaretto has always anticipated the inevitable complexities of a major event, has always handled them with flexibility, passion and a professional yet warm heart.
It would give me great pleasure to work with you and your team again.”

“I have always greatly appreciated their knowledge in different locations around Europe and especially in my home town, Vienna, where besides their competence also a local flavour was added. They are committed to ensuring client’s satisfaction with their flexibility, creativity and organisational skills. Their handling of the technological difficulties which sometimes emerge is reduced by their cutting edge software and by their precise and timely management of information as well as their rapid and helpful response.”

Stuart Montgomery

“Their combination of courtesy, kindness and efficiency has created an ideal setting for the exchange of important new data and sometimes contrasting views in a friendly collegiate atmosphere and have helped make these meetings very productive. I have been very impressed with their flexibility, creativity and organisational skills in overcoming both major and minor obstacles which have occurred over the years such as pandemics, lockdowns, airline shutdowns, volcanic eruptions and even international conflicts. Whatever unexpected events have happened, They have found a way of supporting speakers, stakeholders, sponsors and delegates in a very personal way to create a good environment for a successful meeting. Their great charm and courtesy have provided a very welcome and essential backdrop to the meetings, particularly when unexpected events intrude.”

“…the project has been successful in all aspects, even if in a pandemic situation. Key critical success factors have been, just to mention the most important ones:
– the flexibility to adapt the program and related actìvitles to the emerging needs of the program itself and of the COVID 19 situation
– the professionality of all employees
– the ability to trigger capacities and technology in order to compensate the lack of energies from our side…”
