Why Amsterdam ? EAS 2009 will be held at the Amsterdam RAI International Exhibition and Congress Centre, a modern and innovative convention facility just south of Amsterdam’s city centre and less than eight minutes from Schiphol Airport. Getting around is easy, thanks to an excellent train, tram, metro and bus network Most of Amsterdam’s major attractions are located in and around the city centre and are very easy to find. These include the Rijksmuseum, flower market, Ann Frank House, Van Gogh Museum and diamond factories. A single day is all it takes to find your way around, before sampling the lively night life. The Netherlands is bordered by Germany and Belgium, has very good sea links and is within a short hop of France and the UK. But more than anything else, Amsterdam is where the attractions industry will come together in 2009.
