It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the nineteenth Annual Scientific Congress of the European Cardiac Arrhythmia Society ECAS 2026“, which will be held in Munich (Germany) from 10th to 12th May at the Leonardo Royal Hotel. All those who have attended previous editions of the ECAS Congress know that it is a highly scientific and educational event in a convivial atmosphere that encourages interaction between „masters“ and younger participants. ECAS Congresses are indeed unique. They offer participants an authentic academic experience, where young, passionate colleagues engage in open, intimate and informal discussions with mentors who have inspired them on their professional journeys.
Importantly, the third edition of the successful ECAS Educational Course will also take place, with a basic and advanced program organised by Thorsten Lewalter. This edition promises to be particularly successful and we look forward to welcoming you to Munich next spring.
