Looking forward to ESACT2024

Dear colleagues/friends

Ceud mile failte

It is my pleasure to extend an invitation for you to join our enthusiastic international community in Edinburgh in June 2024. Our formal meeting will be held over 4 days (23rd June to 26th June) in the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). ESACT2024 will be the third ESACT meeting to be held in the UK, following Harrogate in 2005 and Brighton in 1992. The Edinburgh meeting will be the 28th in the series (Brighton was the 11th) and will be the first time of hosting the meeting in Scotland. It will be a privilege to showcase ESACT science and networking in the backdrop of the history and gravitas of my home city of “Auld Reekie”.

At present the ESACT2024 committees are developing scientific, technical and networking sessions that will enable you to hear about and discuss the latest advances in the sector. As the specific programme develops, this website will be updated. Registration for the meeting will open in October 2023, with the potential to submit abstracts for poster and short talk sessions, opening in September 2023. Potential exhibitors can approach the meeting Commercial & Sponsorship Director (Colm O’Grady) from now onwards. Please visit the website at frequent intervals for updates.

As Chair of ESACT2024, I am certain that we will host another stunning ESACT meeting in Edinburgh. The success will be due to the input of you all as members of the ESACT community but will be powered by the input of those who have committed their time towards the planning and organisation of the programme and event. Thank you.

If you have any comments about the meeting, please contact me directly. Your opinions would be valued.
