The ICCVA 2008 will take place at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin from the 14th to 18th of September 2008.
This international Congress will be scientifically organized by the three participating societies SCA (Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists), EACTA (The European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiologists), and the DGAI (German Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine).
Historically, the ICCVA takes place every two years as collaboration with the host country’s society of anesthesia. Previous congresses took place in Israel 2002, Japan 2004, and in Prague 2006. Major companies were intimately involved in supporting this important international congress over the years.
On behalf of the congress chair I would like to welcome you and thank you in advance for your interest in sponsoring this important event.
All our activities at the ICCVA 2008 are open to sponsorship:
