2026-03-16 9 min Equipo Transportes Ejecutivos
Pereira, capital of the Risaralda department and the heart of Colombia's Coffee Axis (Eje Cafetero), is set to host one of Latin America's most important medical events: the XXXII Colombian Congress of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, organized by ACMFR (Colombian Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation), together with the IV Congress of the Latin American Scientific Society of Rehabilitation (SOCILAR). Under the theme 'Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation... New Perspectives on Human Functioning,' this gathering will bring together hundreds of specialists, researchers, and healthcare professionals from across the continent at the EXPOFUTURO Convention Center from September 23 to 27, 2025. Transportes Ejecutivos, with extensive experience in transportation logistics for medical and pharmaceutical congresses, has been selected to transport ADIUM SAS personnel to this important event, ensuring punctuality, comfort, and professionalism on every trip.
The ACMFR-SOCILAR 2025 Congress: A Latin American-Scale Event
The XXXII ACMFR Congress is not just any medical event. Its partnership with SOCILAR—the Latin American Scientific Society of Rehabilitation, which brings together professionals from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay—makes it a forum for scientific discussion of continental scope. Presided over by Dr. Javier Benavides (ACMFR) and Dr. Andersson Rozo (SOCILAR), with scientific coordination by Dr. Luz Helena Lugo, the congress offers an extensive program that includes keynote lectures, research presentations, panel discussions, and 12 pre-congress workshops scheduled for September 23. The main congress from September 24 to 27 will feature presentations on advances in neurorehabilitation, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, sports medicine, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, assistive technologies, and new approaches to human functioning based on the WHO's International Classification of Functioning (ICF). More than 800 healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical industry representatives, and international delegations are expected to attend, generating significant demand for reliable executive ground transportation services in the city of Pereira and its surroundings.
EXPOFUTURO Pereira: Congress Venue and Access Logistics
The EXPOFUTURO Convention Center is Pereira's most important convention and exhibition venue and one of the most modern in the Coffee Axis region. Located in the Cerritos sector, it features spacious plenary halls, spaces for simultaneous workshops, and exhibition areas ideal for the pharmaceutical trade show that accompanies congresses of this magnitude. Its strategic location provides easy access from the city's main roads and from Matecaña International Airport (IATA code: PEI), which is just 10-15 minutes away by car. From the airport to Pereira's downtown hotel district, the journey takes approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Transportes Ejecutivos has thorough knowledge of these routes and peak traffic hours in Pereira, enabling us to plan transfers with optimal timing and avoid delays that could affect congress attendees' schedules. Our professional drivers are familiar with EXPOFUTURO's logistics entrances, the hotels preferred by medical event organizers, and the recommended restaurants for corporate dinners in the area.
Pereira and the Coffee Axis: Air and Ground Connectivity
Pereira forms part of the Coffee Axis urban triangle alongside Armenia (Quindío) and Manizales (Caldas), a region recognized worldwide as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its coffee-growing landscapes. Matecaña International Airport (PEI) receives direct flights from Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and other Colombian cities, as well as international connections through the country's main air hubs. For international SOCILAR congress delegates traveling from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Puerto Rico, the typical arrival route is through Bogotá's El Dorado Airport with a connecting flight to Pereira, or directly via flights from their home countries to Pereira when available. Transportes Ejecutivos offers pickup service at Matecaña Airport with real-time flight monitoring, ensuring the driver is waiting for the passenger even if the flight arrives early or is delayed. Additionally, for those arriving at nearby El Edén Airport in Armenia or La Nubia Airport in Manizales, we offer executive intercity transfers with travel times of approximately 45-60 minutes between these cities and Pereira, passing through some of Colombia's most spectacular landscapes.
Transportation for ADIUM SAS and the Pharmaceutical Industry
Transportes Ejecutivos will be transporting ADIUM SAS personnel during the XXXII ACMFR Congress and IV SOCILAR 2025, adding another top-tier pharmaceutical client to our healthcare industry service portfolio. ADIUM SAS joins a distinguished list of sector companies that trust our executive transportation services for their medical events and congresses in Colombia, including Bayer, Novartis, Merck, and Cardinal Health. Our experience in the pharmaceutical sector has taught us that transportation for medical congresses has particular requirements: absolute punctuality so that speakers arrive on time for their sessions, discretion and corporate confidentiality, impeccable vehicles that reflect the client's corporate image, flexibility for last-minute schedule changes at the congress, and the ability to manage group transfers for commercial teams attending the pharmaceutical exhibition. For ADIUM SAS, we have designed a customized transportation plan covering pickups at Matecaña Airport, daily hotel-EXPOFUTURO-hotel transfers, availability for corporate dinners and congress social events, and return service to the airport at the end of the event.
Proven Experience in Medical Congresses Across Colombia
The ACMFR-SOCILAR 2025 congress is not our first large-scale medical event. Transportes Ejecutivos has been the trusted transportation provider for numerous congresses and healthcare sector gatherings in different Colombian cities. We have provided service at EndoCongress Colombia—the country's premier endocrinology congress—at events organized by AMCI (Colombian Medical Association of Internists), at FALU (Federation of Lithotripsy and Urology Associations) congresses, and at specialized endoscopy conferences, among many others. This track record has allowed us to refine service protocols specific to medical events: we coordinate with congress organizers to have updated session schedules, we assign dedicated drivers to each passenger group to ensure familiarity and trust throughout the event, we maintain backup vehicles available for any contingency, and we offer a direct communication channel with our operations center to resolve any transportation need in real time. Each congress we serve reinforces our knowledge of venues, logistical dynamics, and the expectations of medical and pharmaceutical personnel.
