ESC Congress 2023 is fast approaching, and your contribution is key. Your cardiac society’s presence and contribution in the Global Community Area, whether it be a stand or a session, is important to us. We are looking forward to the enthusiasm and cooperation that are important parts of this area.

All presentations on the Global Stage will be live and also streamed via the digital congress platform. Information on sessions will be available on the ESC Congress 2023 online platform and in the Global Community agenda. Some sessions will be in local language because this is indeed, an area for you, our global community, and it is your members that we want to serve. Our aim is to bring the science of ESC Congress to your country.

With our best wishes,

Christophe Leclercq, FESC
