MCI Group Heads to ITIC Global 2026 in Istanbul

MCI Group is pleased to announce its participation in ITIC Global 2026, taking place from 1–5 November 2026 at Swissôtel The Bosphorus in Istanbul, Türkiye.

Bringing together professionals from across the international travel insurance, medical assistance, healthcare, claims and cost-containment sectors, ITIC Global is one of the industry’s key opportunities to exchange knowledge, strengthen partnerships and discuss the challenges shaping international healthcare and travel assistance.

This year, Agathi Kanellou, GCOO of MCI Group, among other team members, will represent our organisation in Istanbul, connecting with existing partners, new organisations and industry colleagues from around the world.

Connecting across the global assistance community

For MCI Group, participating in ITIC Global is about much more than attending an international conference.

Our work depends on strong relationships between insurers, assistance companies, healthcare providers, claims specialists and international partners. Events such as ITIC provide an important environment in which these relationships can be strengthened and new opportunities for collaboration can emerge.

As international travel and healthcare continue to evolve, insurers and assistance companies face increasingly complex operational challenges: managing medical costs across different markets, accessing reliable providers, coordinating international patient care and responding efficiently when travellers require medical assistance abroad.

These are areas in which cooperation across the industry remains essential.

Discussing the future of international healthcare and assistance

The ITIC Global 2026 programme will address a range of topics affecting the travel and health insurance industry, including medical assistance, healthcare costs, provider relationships, crisis response and travel risk management.

For MCI Group, these conversations closely reflect the work we undertake every day through our international medical assistance, medical claims management, cost-containment and healthcare-provider network activities.

Participating in ITIC Global gives us the opportunity to exchange perspectives with professionals operating across different healthcare markets, better understand evolving client requirements and continue developing solutions that respond to the realities of cross-border medical care.

Building stronger international partnerships

A reliable global assistance operation is built on trusted relationships.

Whether coordinating treatment abroad, managing a complex medical claim, negotiating healthcare costs or arranging an international medical transfer, successful outcomes frequently depend on effective cooperation between multiple organisations and countries.

ITIC Global brings many of these stakeholders together in one place, creating valuable opportunities to reinforce existing partnerships while developing new connections across the international healthcare and insurance community.

At MCI Group, we look forward to using our time in Istanbul to share experiences, explore new collaborations and strengthen the relationships that support our growing international network.
