Description of event:

Global Reproductive and Fertility Tourism Congress & Expo is the unique, globally organized event dedicated specifically to reproductive and fertility tourism with special focus on surrogacy and egg donation.  Global fertility resources, clinics of reproductive technologies, fertility and reproductive agencies, law firms and Intended Parents are invited to participate, exhibit and speak.

 

Global Reproductive and Fertility Tourism Congress & Expo is an initiative solution aimed at strengthening global communication across the fertility and reproductive tourism sphere between all agents. The goals and objectives are to improve channels of international support, increase networking collaboration and provide a forum for all attendees to understand the possibilities, responsibilities and opportunities that reproductive technology offers.

 

We are expecting more than 1000 attendees from the reproductive and fertility domain world-wide, insurance companies, representatives of law firms and honored guests from the government sector.

 

Top speakers and experts from the reproductive field will attend to share their knowledge, strengthen existing links and establish new connections.

 

Reproductive medical tourism should be viewed and approached independently by all agents operating in this sphere, including clinics, agencies, insurance companies and law firms, for it possesses unique and specific medical, organizational and legal aspects unlike other tourism programs.

 

This dynamically developing area of medical tourism needs improved communication and global support so that all parties involved in the process are aware of the legalities, have a platform with which to share expertise and able to optimize networking opportunities.
