About Carlamani

A safe pair of hands for your society's big week.

We have been creating professional conferences and memorable events with passion, integrity and excellence for 20 years. Our work runs on current event management software and on long partnerships with the best suppliers in the industry, so the details are settled long before delegates arrive.

Most of our conferences are scientific and academic: plant pathology, entomology, chromatography, microbiology and education. We know what a call for abstracts, a poster session and a society AGM need.
