Fira de Barcelona
| 2014 Report
European Cardiology Congress
One of the main features of 2014 was the
celebration of major congresses, especially
in the medical and technological fields, which
attracted some 100,000 professionals and
made a key contribution to the exceptional
results achieved by Fira de Barcelona. The
commitment to attracting events related to the
health sciences and technology forms part of
the strategy to position the institution.
A particularly outstanding event in the field of
the health sciences was the European Cardiology
Congress, one of the most important scientific
and medical meetings in the world, organised by
Fira for the fourth time, after the editions in 1992,
1999 and 2009. Fira de Barcelona also hosted
the World Cardiology Congress in 2006.
Sponsored by the European Society of
Cardiology, this year the event brought nearly
30,000 professionals from 150 countries to the
Gran Via venue to take part in over 500 scientific
sessions and presentations of more than 11,000
oral introductions or posters announcing the
latest clinical trials and discoveries in the field of
cardiology.
