VENUE
Amsterdam RAI convention centre
Europaplein 22NL-1078 GZ Amsterdam
www.rai.nl
The EUROMEDLAB Amsterdam 2007 Congress will be held at the Amsterdam RAI convention centre. This modern complex is unquestionably one of Europe's foremost venues for major international events. By public transportation it takes just fifteen minutes to travel from the Amsterdam RAI to the city centre with its attractive canals, pavement cafés, tourist attractions and a wide range of entertainment. There is a stop of Tramline 4 in front of the building that provides a quick and convenient service to all parts of Amsterdam. Besides its own railway station on walking distance (Amsterdam RAI), the convention centre has its own harbour on the side of the complex that borders on the park. This provides a direct connection to Amsterdam's extensive canal network.
