“I am London-based, and needed to find a venue for an event we were hosting in Helsinki. I carried out desk-top research (google searches) for potential venue spaces and found among many Finlandia Hall to be a possible option. I then visited Finlandia Hall in March 2019 to look at a selection of venues across Helsinki and found Finlandia Hall to be the very best option. It did not disappoint – an excellent venue with a fantastic team of hard working staff who were wonderful to work with.
Essi Leivo was my main contact point for all planning and organising for our event at Finlandia Hall, and I must say how excellent Essi has been to work with. I work with a lot of venues all over the world (to deliver our radio debate series) and Essi has been the most efficient and helpful contact I’ve ever had the pleasure to liaise with. I cannot fault the planning, shaping and delivering of our event thanks to Essi’s vigilance – it’s much appreciated.”

Over a thousand vascular biologists came to sunny Helsinki to attend the International Vascular Biology Meeting (IVBM2018) in June 3-7, 2018. The IVBM2018 brought together investigators from all fields of vascular biology for the exchange of new ideas and discussions of burning issues at Finlandia Hall. Presentations of the latest concepts and discoveries were provided by internationally recognized scientists and young stars of the future from all around the globe. The program consisted of plenary sessions, parallel symposia with nearly 90 invited speakers together with poster sessions, located adjacent to the symposium exhibition.
The IVBM2018 created an outstanding showcase of top-of-the level vascular biology research, and an opportunity to experience the Scandinavian culture, nature and cuisine. The meeting was held in Finlandia Hall, a masterpiece of Finnish architecture, located right in the center of Helsinki, buzzing with light and life. The conference participants could enjoy the Nordic white nights when the sun set only for a moment bringing out the magic in the city and its people. The period was also the best time for tasting of local and Nordic cuisine’s seasonal ingredients fresh from the nature.
