The excitement is building as we gear up for this year's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25) in Chicago, taking place from March 29 to 31! The stage is set for an unparalleled gathering of cardiovascular professionals, where groundbreaking science, innovative education and dynamic networking opportunities converge. ACC.25 is more than just a meeting – it's where the transformation of cardiovascular care truly begins.

This year's program is designed to inspire, educate and engage. As ACC Scientific Session Chair Katie Berlacher, MD, MS, FACC, emphasizes, learning at ACC.25 isn't just about didactic sessions – it's about immersive, interactive experiences that make education both fun and effective. Expect to see cutting-edge gamification, interactivity,and fresh approaches to live education that reflect the evolving landscape of medical learning.
