News for National Cardiac Societies

2020-08-26

We are on the eve of ESC Congress - The Digital Experience, the pioneering event that we are all so proud of. From your proposals for the call for sessions last year, to your contribution to the virtual National Cardiac Societies platform, your commitment has been unwavering.

Many thanks to everyone who has provided content for the platform. This will be available for all delegates, so is vitally important for showcasing your own society and demonstrating to the world the extent of the ESC’s impact. Please use this opportunity to produce and submit daily reports, summarising your perspectives on Guidelines, Hot Lines or any of the hundreds of sessions available. Send them to us in your local language and they will be posted online. More details can be found below.

Tens of thousands of cardiovascular health professionals from 200 countries have now registered, making this the biggest ESC Congress in our history! This is an exceptional opportunity for your members to update their knowledge and network with their peers online. Registration is open throughout the congress so please continue to spread the word.

This is going to be the most exciting cardiovascular event of the year. We look forward to “seeing” you there!

Best wishes,
Prof. Jose Luis Zamorano and Prof. Franz Weidinger
ESC Vice Presidents for National Cardiac Societies
