The organizer, the Hellenic Health Services Management Association (HHSMA), aims to cultivate, deepen and promote Health Management and Economics Science and promote research and education in this sector. It also aims at the scientific, working, professional and cultural development and upgrade of healthcare executives who deal with Health Management and Economics to further cultivate their scientific knowledge and constant training.

It has grown internationally, gaining recognition among healthcare professionals, with more than one thousand delegates actively participating in the conference annually.
