Financial Management
"Organising a conference like ICER with so many concurrent oral presentations is a major challenge. However, the support and guidance provided by the Tour Hosts team made the work of the local organizing committee a lot easier. Also very importantly, as we were fully responsible for the financial outcome of the meeting, the professional way that the budget was handled, and all eventualities taken into consideration, was very reassuring for us. You gave us confidence that all would be well in the end (as it was of course). In fact we made a neat profit that means we have the privilege of sending funds on to the next ICER meeting in Buenos Aires for Young Investigator Fellowships."
