The Social Programme

“Great general atmosphere – nice balance between lectures and social side”

“Successful combination of practical and relevant CPD with an excellent social programme and
overall community spirit”

The ESFM Congress has always been more then just a scientific conference. It is a chance to enjoy a great city, socialise with your fellow delegates, and party in some fantastic locations.


Bayer ‘A Taste of Scotland’ evening – Friday 26, 19.00 – 21.00
Immediately after lectures on Friday afternoon, delegates will be able to take the coach to the Signet Library in the heart of Edinburgh’s old town, for ‘A Taste of Scotland’ evening hosted by Bayer. The Signet’s Upper Library is a breathtaking setting that captures the essence of Georgian Edinburgh. Guests will then have the opportunity to spend the rest of the evening exploring Edinburgh by night, or jump back on one of the coaches and return to the Sheraton.
