ESC CONGRESS 2026 MUNICH

We are thrilled to be heading to Munich, Germany, to once again take part in the ESC Congress from 28 to 31 August 2026.

ESC Congress is the world’s foremost cardiology event — a global meeting ground where cardiology professionals come together to share breakthrough science, debate new ideas, and translate innovation into everyday clinical practice.

This year’s theme focuses on Artificial Intelligence in Cardiology — exploring how AI is rapidly becoming a co-pilot in cardiovascular care, boosting precision, speed, and safety from diagnosis to treatment. Throughout the congress, attendees will experience hands-on sessions, live demonstrations, immersive learning, and multidisciplinary dialogue.

Munich, a city with a rich history of hosting international scientific gatherings, will once again be the backdrop for this landmark event — welcoming cardiologists, allied health professionals, researchers, and industry partners from around the globe.
