Located in the heart of the Scottish capital, the venue of the 25th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiologists (EACTA) in 2010 is the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). Open in 1995, the EICC is a superb venue for EACTA 2010 that offers excellent auditoriums for lectures and ample space for the trade exhibition. Over and above its great facilities, the EICC is in within easy walking distance of many hotels, restaurants, shops, theatres, art galleries and museums.
