The Europace will last 4 full days and more than 6,000 participants are expected to attend the scientific sessions, educational meetings and training courses to participate in the latest research discoveries, to learn from renowned experts and to exchange with peers.
The other two congresses of the ESC will take place at the Austria Center Vienna. The International Conference on Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT happens from May 7 – 9, 2017 with 1,000 participants.
