CONFERENCE VENUE

The 7th ICGH will be held at the prestigious Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). Located in the heart of the city next to Edinburgh Castle, purpose-built in 1995, the EICC can host up to 2000 delegates and continues to appeal to government, association and corporate meetings from across the world.

Centrepiece of the EICC is its 1200-raked seating Pentland auditorium, transforming into 3 separate auditoria at the touch of a button. The main ICGH7 plenary sessions will be held in Pentland (900 seat configuration), with the Fintry Auditorium swivelling 180° to give separate 600 and 300 seat theatres for parallel sessions. The 1185m² Cromdale hall will host Poster sessions, exhibitor stands and catering for delegates. Registration and welcome reception will take place in the Strathblane Hall main entrance foyer.
