It focuses on organizing medical, technological, and professional conferences, congresses, and exhibitions, often working on behalf of associations, hospitals, and scientific societies.

A card charge labeled "PARAGON G.C LTD, RAANANA, ISR" is likely related to a conference or congress managed by Paragon Group, such as registration fees, sponsorship or exhibition payments, or other services connected to a specific event. Official conference prospectuses show that payments for sponsorships and registrations are often directed to "Paragon G.C LTD" by bank transfer or credit card, with Paragon authorized to charge cards for the agreed amount and to apply a small surcharge for foreign cards. Invoices and receipts are normally issued in the name of Paragon (often Paragon Group or Paragon G.C Ltd) on behalf of the specific conference.

If you have questions about this charge, first match the date and amount to any recent conference registration, abstract submission fee, workshop, or sponsorship you or your organization arranged, and check confirmation emails from the relevant conference website (often branded for the event but listing Paragon in the footer or payment section). You can typically resolve billing questions by contacting the conference secretariat or Paragon via the contact details on the conference site, providing your name, organization, registration ID, and the last four digits of the charged card. For disputes or refunds, refer to the cancellation and reimbursement terms in the conference prospectus, as Paragon usually follows event-specific policies set by the organizing society, including deadlines after which fees are non‑refundable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from "PARAGON G.C LTD RAANANA ISR" on my card?

This descriptor is used by Paragon Group, an Israeli professional conference organizer, when processing payments for conferences and events it manages. The charge typically corresponds to a conference registration, exhibition or sponsorship fee, or related event service you or your organization booked through a conference website managed by Paragon.

What kinds of services does Paragon Group usually bill for on credit cards?

Paragon Group commonly bills for delegate registrations, abstract handling fees, workshops and courses attached to conferences, exhibition or sponsorship packages, and sometimes hotel or social event components sold as part of a conference package. The exact service should be listed on the confirmation or invoice you received when registering or signing a sponsorship form.

Why is my Paragon Group charge amount relatively high, such as over €1,000?

Higher amounts (for example around €1,000–€1,500) often reflect full conference registrations at professional rates, combined registration for multiple delegates, or sponsorship and exhibition fees paid by a company or institution. Conference prospectuses managed by Paragon frequently quote these higher fee levels for corporate or institutional participation.

Can I get a refund or cancel a registration billed by Paragon Group?

Refunds and cancellations are governed by the specific conference’s policy, which Paragon implements. Many prospectuses state that only partial refunds are available up to a stated deadline and that no reimbursement is possible after that date. To request a refund, locate the conference website or confirmation email, review the cancellation terms, and contact the conference secretariat or Paragon using the listed email, including your registration number and payment details.

Why is there an extra fee or slightly higher amount than the conference price listed?

Some Paragon‑managed events apply an additional percentage fee when paying with foreign credit cards—prospectuses mention a foreign card surcharge (for example around 2–3%). Currency conversion by your card issuer and any bank charges for international transactions can also cause small differences between the advertised price and the final amount on your statement.

How can I verify that a Paragon Group charge is legitimate?

Search your email for recent conference correspondence that mentions Paragon or the event name, check PDF prospectuses or invoices where the payment instructions list "Paragon G.C LTD" or Paragon Group as the recipient, and match the transaction date and amount. You can also visit the official conference website (linked from professional society pages) and use the contact or "organized by" details to reach Paragon’s team and confirm the payment.

How do I contact Paragon Group about a billing issue or receipt?

Use the contact information provided on the specific conference website—usually an email for the conference secretariat or Paragon registration desk—and include your full name, organization, event name, registration ID, and transaction details. If needed, you can also contact Paragon via the general details listed on their corporate site, referencing the event and the last four digits of the charged card so they can locate your record.

Could this Paragon charge relate to an organization I work for rather than a personal purchase?

Yes. Paragon Group frequently works with hospitals, universities, and medical or scientific societies. Charges may be for group registrations or sponsorships authorized by your department or accounts team, even if they appear on a shared corporate card. Check internally with your events, CME, or marketing teams and ask for recent conference registrations or sponsorships managed by Paragon before disputing the charge with your bank.
