We want the Palma Congress Center not only to be a meeting place for the economic, social and scientific fabric, but also a true value generator for the destination and true support for the real needs of our community. For this reason, since last April, and together with our Meliá Palma Bay hotel, we have teamed up in collaboration with the SOS Mamás Mallorca association and the Fundació Monti·sion Solidaria to donate surplus food on a daily basis, to help needy families in Palma.
In addition, with the donation of food surpluses from the breakfast buffet or coffee breaks, such as bakery and pastry, we also contribute to one of the environmental action levers of the Congress Center, which is combating food waste.
SOS Mamás Mallorca is a non-profit organization focused mainly on delivering food to the most needy families. Currently, they have several centers in Palma and Calviá, serving more than 11,000 people - of which more than 3,000 children - as well as a social diner.
In the same way, the Monti·sion Solidària Foundation also aims to serve people who are in a situation of social vulnerability on the island, covering their needs for food, clothing, toys, as well as snacks and solidarity backpacks for the children, with more than 5,000 beneficiaries.
Palma recently hosted the 17th Congress of the National Association of Nursing Coordinators in Material Resources (ANECORM) from October 2nd to 4th.

In September, the Palma Convention Center became the epicenter of aesthetic dentistry and dental implantology by hosting more than 3,000 experts from around the globe at two leading international conferences.
