This year the IASLC held its 14th World Conference on Lung Cancer at the RAI, Amsterdam. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) welcomed 7,000 cancer specialists from around the world, to the 14th World Conference on Lung Cancer, over the five day event (3rd – 7th July, 2011). In response to the association’s need for a large plenary area, ACS constructed a fully equipped, 5,000 capacity plenary room in one of the exhibition halls. 5 large screens, including a 12 meter main stage screen, ensured that all the speakers and presentations were highly visible to the delegates. ACS technicians maintained the smooth running of presentations and to further engage the audience there were several interactive voting sessions for industry symposia; where 900 voting keypads were used. In addition, ACS provided 32 registration laptops with printers, 40 PCs in the Internet Café and 72 PCs for ePoster stations in the Exhibit Halls.
For the Gala dinner, ACS skilfully transformed the plenary room into a colourful and exciting Gala dining Hall for 1500 guests. ACS worked with the Conference Organizers (International Conference Services Ltd.) and RAI Catering to create a spectacular dining experience. ACS technicians created a seamless gala event with several set changes throughout the evening and guests were delighted with a star line up of performers headlined by Caro Emerald.
