EXHIBITION & LEARNING LABS

Welcome Exhibitors

The EACTS trade exhibition is a crucial and highly efficient means of staying abreast of the latest advances in new-to-market technology, state-of-the-art products, innovations, and developments within the cardiovascular and thoracic markets. For participating companies, an exhibition booth provides the opportunity to connect with key industry stakeholders in one convenient location, showcasing new products and generating interest from both prospective clients and established customers.

Our trade show consistently draws qualified attendees, a significant portion of whom wield purchasing authority. Exhibitors and visitors value the chance for face-to-face interactions and the excitement surrounding new product introductions.

In Lisbon this year, we are introducing an exciting innovation by combining the traditional exhibition area with the Learning Labs space. This marks the first time that the industry will have the opportunity to organise their own ‘Hands-on’ workshops, incorporating both wet and dry labs, along with various small practice sessions – all conveniently located in one place. These sessions will not form part of the official scientific programme of the Annual Meeting. We recommend that such training is limited to 10-15 people per session and offered to delegates on an invitation basis.

Notably, at the 37th EACTS Annual Meeting in 2023, 81 companies from 19 countries showcased their offerings across a sprawling 2238 sqm, representing diverse industries associated with cardiothoracic surgery. The Trade Exhibition, centrally positioned in the Centro de Congressos, Lisbon, is near the session rooms, ensuring convenient access for all attendees. Catering areas will be located in both halls.

The exhibition is set to take place in Pavilion 1 and Rio Pavilion, promising an engaging and dynamic experience for both exhibitors and attendees.
