From August 31st until September 4th Amsterdam RAI saw close to 30,000 cardiology professionals participating in the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). ESC is renowned as the largest medical conference in Europe, as well as being the largest cardiovascular conference in the world.

The challenge

ACS is the preferred partner of ESC, valued for their specialist knowledge and expertise in constructing temporary lecture halls and providing audio and visual equipment and technical support. ACS created custom built congress rooms to meet the needs of this high-profile medical conference. It constructed 20 temporary lecture rooms, each fully equipped with audio and visual equipment.

Every year ESC organises a spectacular opening ceremony in the plenary hall. This year’s ceremony was no exception with an impressive list of performances. ACS was proud to work together with their creative partner, and deliver the audio and visual equipment and technical support for this fantastic opening event.

The biannual congress of the The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis was held in Amsterdam in July 2013. ACS and it IT partner Eventresult provided a total package solution, combining their services to accommodate over 8,500 delegates in an innovative way and create the ‘ultimate congress experience’.

The challenge

At this biannual Congress, Eventresult established itself as a large scale supplier of ePoster presentations. It presented more than 2,700 posters, accessible on 74 touch screens. All delegates were able to search for posters on each multi touch screen by meeting, subject and speaker.

The ePosters were all located in a dedicated ePoster area, and fully branded with the ISTH 2013 theme.

This year the NBC Congress centre in Nieuwegein was chosen for the annual Team Week for a large corporate customer. ACS provided the sound, light and video for this event. This year’s presentation showed an amazing interaction between ‘live’ dancers and video projections on both the floor and cubes that were positioned on the stage.

The Ali Campbell Band performed together with UB40, offering a wonderful show for invitees during the so called “Crestfest”. This collaboration was organised by Crestron Integrated Systems Europe for the ISE2013 in Amsterdam RAI. ACS supplied the sound system.
