SA Heart, a major conference on cardiovascular medicine, was held at the East London International Convention Centre from 23-26 October. In the conference, which hosted 700 delegates, an outstanding group of speakers was invited to share their clinical knowledge and research on the latest and most significant developments across this seminal body of medical work.

“The conference certainly proves that East London as a city and the ELICC in particular are on the South African conventions & meetings map. The city offers extraordinary natural and logistical advantages while the ELICC itself presents a seamless facility,” says Samuel Nassimov MD of Premier Hotels which manages the ELICC.

Along with the ELICC’s state-of-the-art facilities - which include a 650-seater auditorium, an exhibition floor (taking up to 90 stands), board-rooms and a major hall capable of seating 850 ball-room style and 2200 cinema-style - the conference centre’s proximity to both the new Premier Hotel EL ICC and Premier Hotel Regent mean conference goers have on-site accommodation and top class hotel facilities without having to leave the precinct.
