The 1th Conferencia de Actualización en Pediatría of ALAPE held in Panama City on April 7^th - 10^th  2011 was the first event of this kind that our Association organized. The first that is under the direct guidance of Paragon Conventions and it's first Convention in Latin America.

Additionally, this conference, as we have highlighted, gathered for the first time all the Pediatrics Scientific Societies of America. It was the result of an alliance between the AAP (USA), CPS (Canada) and ALAPE representing Latin America and the Caribbean, along with the AEP (Spain) and SIP (Italy), plus the support of the World Health Organization (OMS), represented in the region by the Pan American Health Organization (OPS)

This, by itself, was a huge challenge and a huge responsibility.

Knowing the organizational and operational capacity of Paragon Conventions and entrepreneurial vision of its leaders, we chose this company and made a formal agreement only a year before the event.

The results could not have been better. There were 1.200 participants, 80% of these are pediatricians opinion leaders in their countries, now awaiting the opportunity to be in the forthcoming 2013.

Beyond this major challenge and the skills of Paragon Conventions to organize an event that had no references, emphasizes its ability to adapt to a new culture and circumstances, to solve efficiently, and on the way, common problems in a meeting of this size and, especially, the kindness and constant enthusiasm, displayed by all staff and support staff.

With all these elements we do not doubt to organize the next version of the Conference ALAPE 2013. Moreover, our Association Directors Board has decided to make an agreement with Paragon Conventions as the official PCO of ALAPE for the next years.

"No problem" should be the motto for Paragon Conventions because no matter what we asked for that was their response. Whether it was dealing with a last minute request from a speaker, adding a last minute board meeting, or assisting someone who needed special documentation to come to the congress, Paragon took care of it all. Not only was Paragon skilled at dealing with the minute details inherent in any congress, but they were exemplary in handling the larger and politically sensitive issues too. I have been actively involved in putting a number of local, national, and international conferences together for years and I can say without reservation that Paragon does a great job with "no problems".

On behalf of IAGP, I thank you most sincerely for your efficient organization of the Congress. We all felt your warm hospitality and that of all your management. It would be very unfair to mention only a few as all of them worked so very efficiently.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the International Conference on Fixed Combination in the Treatment of Hypertension, Dyslipidemia and Diabetes Mellitus, I would like to express my gratitude for a successful partnership that is now reaching its fourth year.
Having had experience in organizing more than ten international conferences, I must confess that I never came across such devotion and efficacy such as those that I find in Paragon Conventions.
The inaugural Fixed Combination conference which took place in Budapest and the second conference in Valencia would not have been as successful as they were without your active involvement, your devotion and creativity which are highly unique.

On behalf of the Council and Executive Committee of the Commonwealth Lawyers Association, I write to thank you for being our Conference Organizer at CLA’s 25th anniversary conference which took place in Montego Bay, Jamaica from the 16th-19th October 2008. You kindly agreed to be our Professional Conference Organizer and organize the conference on relatively short notice. Your participation was extremely well received by the delegates and contributed to the overall success of the event. Thank you and all your team at Paragon very much. The conference was a triumph and one which will no doubt be recalled with fondness at the CLA’s 50th anniversary celebrations in the future.
