What’s more, diseases and illness which are not affordable in the developing world are on the increase which requires intervention (WHO 2011). The conference is set to discuss and provide new trends and guideline policies in the improving technology in medical and pharmaceutical field.

Methodology and planning

Since the conference is set to invite over four hundred delegates over the world, there is need for a conference hall that can accommodate between 400 and 500 people. The conference will take six days, eight hours per day implying these are fifty six hours of meetings and discussion. Besides, there is need for full accommodation and meals for the delegates and the necessary communication facilities for the success of the conference. Preferably, video conferencing will be conducted for delegates who will not be able to attend hence Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre must see to it that the facilities are available. Security issues should be maintained in and outside the venue to avoid any unwarranted incidences to the delegates. Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre were picked due to its high calibre and recognition international wise hence there are high expectations that the whole conference will be a success (AMA 2011).
