Program Overview Back to WebApp

Based on your valuable feedback, our 3-day program will focus on the most requested educational topics to be presented by our top-tier Canadian speakers, including both echocardiographers and cardiac sonographers, as well as international experts from our sister organizations, EACVI and ASE.   

We are excited to return to our old stomping grounds in Toronto, at the Downtown Marriott at CF Toronto Eaton Center! For those who cannot travel, the hybrid plenary sessions will be simultaneously broadcast live. 

We have also listened to your feedback from last year regarding the “weekend format” that we tried out in Montreal and are returning to the tried-and-true Thursday evening start to Saturday afternoon finish to enable more facile travel planning. 

Our event will start with the CSE Welcome Dinner, featuring delicious cuisine and entertainment, to be followed by our featured symposium entitled “Prosthetic Heart Valves - The Canadian Experience from Coast to Coast: Elevating ASE Guidelines with Real-World Challenges!”

Scheduled sessions throughout the weekend will have case-based, multimodality, and multidisciplinary learning focus and cover a breadth of echocardiographic topics including AI, valvular disease, cutting-edge technology, cardiomyopathy, pericardial disease, pulmonary hypertension, and more. Highlights include this year’s guest speakers: Dr. Victoria Delgado, President-elect of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, and Dr. Theodore Abraham, President of the American Society of Echocardiography.

Due to popular demand, we will again be hosting the Sonographer Forum, along with a concurrent Accreditation Update Session.  In-person moderated poster presentations of scientific abstracts from our trainees and early career faculty across Canada will occur throughout the program, with judging and awards for the top presenters.  We will also be show-casing the work by our CSE CREATE grant researchers.  Each day will conclude with our iconic interactive educational and entertaining sessions: on Friday, The CSE Game Show (rebranded as “Echo Case Challenge Cup”), and on Saturday, the national review of “Classic Cases Across Canada” where our colleagues across the country share challenging, intriguing, and controversial cases.

Of course, there will be plenty of opportunities for networking with colleagues, and engagement with our expert faculty. 

Stay tuned for additional information on the program, including the featured symposium, plenary sessions, learning labs and workshops.

We are looking forward to reconnecting with you and sharing dynamic, engaging, and informative sessions.
