  • Clinical sessions with world-class physicians

  • Exclusive Gala Dinner

  • Amazing Christmas market

  • Croatian Medical Chamber accredited symposium

Last December 7th, in Zagreb, Croatia, Plexus gathered elite physicians from top US hospitals, including the Cleveland Clinic, to share the most cutting-edge, actionable clinical skills and knowledge through immersive sessions in cardiology, emergency medicine, and endocrinology. These limited-capacity, hands-on sessions offered a unique opportunity for physicians, residents, and medical students to elevate their medical expertise.

A highlight of the event was the highly anticipated Gala Dinner. Attended by our distinguished speakers and leading figures from the medical, scientific, and political communities, this elegant evening at the stunning Emerald Hall of the 5-star Esplanade Hotel provided unparalleled networking opportunities. The event unfolded against the enchanting backdrop of Zagreb's renowned European Christmas Market, adding a special touch to the experience.

Program & Gala Dinner

Last year’s program focused on interactive clinical workshops where leading physicians shared their extensive experience and taught participants important clinical skills in three areas of medicine (which we referred to as tracks): cardiology, endocrinology, and emergency medicine.

The program was divided into 3 parallel tracks, each featuring a morning session and an afternoon session. Each session included 3 workshops, totaling 6 workshops per track throughout the day. With limited spots available for each workshop to ensure the best possible learning experience, each session lasted between 75 and 90 minutes. While participants were encouraged to attend all of the workshops in one track, they had the flexibility to attend just one session (either morning or afternoon) or mix and match by attending a morning session from one track and an afternoon session from another.

Participants also had a fantastic opportunity to network with peers and speakers in between workshops during our networking breaks, as well as during the lunch break.

At the end of the day, attendees had the chance to join our Gala Dinner, where they could meet the speakers one-on-one, connect with fellow attendees, and interact with physicians and scientists from leading biomedical institutions in Croatia. We were also honored by the participation of H. E. Nathalie Rayes, the US Ambassador to Croatia, who joined us to discuss US-Croatia biomedical collaboration. All of this was enjoyed alongside fantastic food and a truly remarkable atmosphere!
