Thursday, February 11, 2021, 8:00 AM - Sunday, February 14, 2021, 12:00 PM, Virtual Conference, Philadelphia, PA

Welcome

Yes, it has been a difficult time as we strive to care for ourselves as well as do our best to maintain and advance the health of our patients with pediatric and congenital cardiovascular disease. Solving new problems and creating new adaptations provides for both challenges and opportunities. Keeping-up with our education and staying abreast of the latest information and innovations in our field has never been more important than now.

With this approach in mind, we present our multidisciplinary comprehensive conference, the 24th Annual Update on Pediatric and Congenital Cardiovascular Disease.

Our theme this year is “Resilience in Pediatric & Congenital Cardiovascular Disease.” The esteemed faculty of over 100 experts will share their knowledge through lectures in plenary sessions, breakout sessions, moderated panels of experts, as well as lively discussion groups covering all areas and topics related to the comprehensive care of the unborn, neonate, child and young adult with cardiovascular disease. The goals of our educational conference are to give healthcare providers the most up to date knowledge-based tools necessary to effectively provide a normal quality and duration of life for individuals with pediatric and congenital cardiovascular disease.

We are pleased to have you join us – welcome to our virtual conference for 2021!
