Tallinn. The Estonian Convention Bureau, working side by side with the Estonian Sleep Research Society, has secured a bid to host the 21st European Sleep Research Society Congress in Tallinn. The event will be held in September 2014. The four-day congress, which is expected to involve over 1,000 participants, will be held in the Nokia Concert Hall/Solaris Centre, with guests staying in nearby downtown hotels.
The successful bid is a landmark in the two-and-a-half-year history of the ECB, according to its managing director Riine Tiigi, as it is the first time the organisation has attracted an event with more than 1,000 delegates. Using a presentation prepared by the ECB, the president of the Estonian Sleep Society made the case for Tallinn at this year’s congress in Lisbon, winning over delegates to beat out Geneva in the final round of voting for the event’s next host city.
