Welcome Address   27th Annual Scientific Meeting On behalf of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiologists (EACTA) it is a pleasure and a privilege to invite you to the 27th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiologists that will take place in Amsterdam from 23 - 25 May 2012.  I would like to draw your attention to the theme and a pioneering new approach to the traditional EACTA Annual Scientific Meeting. EACTA is well aware of the pressing need for change in the way different specialities share knowledge in order to improve performance across all disciplines involved in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery and interventional cardiology. Therefore the EACTA 2012 Organising Committee - composed of the Dutch Section of Cardiovascular Anaesthesiologists and the EACTA Scientific Committee - propose a refreshing approach with an appealing programme which will focus in particular on:  We propose you an exciting program that while being definitely of interest to cardiac anaesthesiologists, but has been designed as well to arouse the interest of the members of collaborating specialities including cardiac surgeons, perfusionists, interventional cardiologist, intensive care physicians and more. The teamwork theme will be in particularly elaborated on Friday the 25th of May by an outstanding panel of speakers from all fields of medicine and beyond to facilitate the participation of other subspecialties besides cardiac anaesthesia. "Teamwork" will be the main theme. The theme of teamwork will be the main focus of the day on Friday the 25th of May. An outstanding panel of speakers from all fields of Medicine and beyond will facilitate the participation of other subspecialties beyond cardiovascular and thoracic anaesthesiology and EACTA 2012 will conclude with a stimulating multidisciplinary debate. The " @ " in our Theme stands for a lively EACTA interaction between speakers, audience and the trade. EACTA 2012 will therefore enthusiastically adopt modern networking technologies like free Wifi Access, state of the art speakers facilities and possibly streaming of certain lectures. You will be regularly kept informed before, during and after the congress, please follow us at @EACTA2012. "The cutting Edge" part of the theme EACTA 2012 will explore the latest scientific breakthroughs through a comprehensive scientific programme, again addressing these topics from the viewpoint of a multidisciplinary team. Living up to its mission the EACTA Annual Meeting will offer maximum exposure to young researchers who wish to present the results of their scientific work. Oral presentations will not only be grouped by topic but will be embedded within sessions including invited lectures matching the group topic. The best Posters and Oral Presentations will compete for the prestigious EACTA prizes. EACTA is extremely grateful for the collaboration with the Society of Cardiovascular Anaesthesiologists (SCA) as well as the Dutch and European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgeons (EACTS and NVT) and the Dutch Society of Extracorporeal Circulation (NESECC) in the fulfilment of EACTA 2012. I would like to thank the industry, faithfully committed to supporting our meeting and adopting new ways of collaboration. Networking in Amsterdam also means meeting people, see old and make new friends. The Social Program for delegates as well for partners will live up to the promises of the main theme of this congress and will contribute to the recognition that you would not want to miss EACTA-2012 Amsterdam. I firmly believe this will be a great event and I look forward to welcoming you all in Amsterdam in May 2012. Yours sincerely, Peter M.J.
