Welcome Letter

       Dear Industry Partners,

       We would officially like to welcome you to ESC Congress, which has developed into the world’s
       largest conference in cardiovascular medicine, with a strong global reputation as an event
       that provides the latest research findings and their interpretation, in-depth science, and solid
       education. This year’s journey will take us to Munich, Germany.

       The aims and objectives of our congress are clear and well aligned with the mission of the
       European Society of Cardiology, “To Reduce the Burden of Cardiovascular Disease”. ESC Congress
       is designed to disseminate all the information and knowledge that will allow cardiologists and
       allied professionals around the world to improve their practice and better patients’ lives, while
       simultaneously serving as a platform for intense collaborative learning and interaction between
       experts and practitioners from all continents. As such, ESC Congress 2018 will ensure the very
       best content on the latest advances in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular
       disease and will continue to invest in optimal, engaging and interactive methods of presentation.

       The Congress Programme Committee is structuring the finest in science, innovation and research
       in cardiology into more than 500 sessions and over 4 000 abstract presentations with a world
       renowned faculty. In 2018, the Congress Spotlight will be “Valvular Heart Disease” so that the
       innovative treatments, techniques and ongoing research in this critical field of cardiology will
       receive particular exposure.

       ESC Congress has become, for the global cardiovascular community, a focal point where science,
       innovation, advances in technology, updates on best practice and cutting-edge techniques are
       introduced. It is without a doubt a place where our industry partners play an integral role in the
       delivery of such advances and have a unique opportunity to interact with congress attendees
       from all geographic and professional backgrounds.

       The fight against cardiovascular disease is a shared mission in which you are our partners. We
       welcome you to join us in realising our vision that ESC Congress 2018 will contribute to raising
       global standards in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

       Yours sincerely,

       Prof Jeroen J Bax, FESC                        Prof Stephan Achenbach, FESC

ESC Congress Munich 2018 - Industry Prospectus Where the world of cardiology comes together - ESC Exhibitors and Industry Partners ...
Some key features

The latest in cardiology, New ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines, Hot Line sessions,
and Highlight sessions will be presented in room “Munich” (Main Auditorium with
3 000 seats).

New this year! The SPOTLIGHT Village will be hosting sessions on Valvular Heart
Disease and other related topics.

The “Hub” at the heart of the Congress venue provides for an intense and close-up
experience in an open design. The Hub will feature interactive sessions that host international
experts in interactive and lively formats such as “Great Debates”, special tracks, and selected
original research. In the “Hub“ area, the Centre Stage will feature interactive sessions such as Live-in-the-Box
scenarios and other special formats.

Throughout the villages, do not miss the best in each of the Congress topics covering the entire spectrum of
cardiology, allows delegates to exchange, and get first-hand scientific findings as well as clinical education
through symposia, case-based sessions and other session formats.

Original science remains a key element in the programme and will be given dynamic platforms in all categories
of presentation (Posters, Best Posters, Moderated Posters, and Rapid Fire abstracts) to enhance scientific
exchange and networking. Particularly highly ranked research abstracts will be presented orally in the very
popular “Advances in Science” sessions, where the abstract presentations are complemented by state-of-the-
art lectures given by experts in the field.

Further to the success of the newly introduced formats “Let’s Discuss Strategy”, “Expert Advice” and ”Image
Interpretation with the Masters”, more of these special sessions will be included in the programme throughout
the villages. Introducing a particularly rich and dynamic learning experience, “Cardiology in 4 Days“ will present
the essential Core Curriculum knowledge in each topic.

Furthermore, Digital Health, a very important topic for the future of cardiology, will be addressed in various
formats, including a specific track of sessions.
