BEST Meeting LXIX
2-3 May 2025
Edinburgh, Scotland 

The BEST Meeting will be held on Friday, 2 May, and Saturday, 3 May 2025, in Edinburgh, Scotland, at the University of Edinburgh's South Hall Complex. It is located in the vibrant Southside of Edinburgh and nestled on the edge of Holyrood Park.

An Education Symposium, in coordination with the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service, is being planned for the afternoon of Thursday, the 1st of May, from 13:00 to 17:00. This will be held as a Hybrid Meeting, with the in-person event at the Edinburgh COSLA Conference Center. COSLA is centrally located with easy access. The Haymarket Station is immediately adjacent. 

The BEST Dinner will be held at The Caves, a World Heritage Site deep in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. Every room has a story to tell and a special place in Scottish history—from vaults that served as the stables for the French Cavalry, who were once bodyguards to the Royal Family, to remains of the houses that pre-date the Bridge itself—with the original terracotta floor tiles still intact.

A hotel room block is not being reserved for this meeting.
