The countdown to ACC.22 has officially begun – after two years of virtual meetings, the CV Team is excited to meet up in person again from April 2-4 in Washington, DC!

Each year, the CV Team has had an increasing presence and representation throughout the conference. Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a returning member, a cardiovascular tech or pharmacist, there are exciting educational and networking opportunities for everyone. There are dedicated CV Team sessions and general sessions with a multidisciplinary team view. 

Cardiovascular Team Events

The CV Team will hit the ground running with events starting early on Saturday, April 2 at the Walter E. Washington Conference Center. That night, the CV Team is hosting the annual section meeting and reception at the ACC headquarters, Heart House, from 7 – 9 p.m. ET. This is an opportunity to meet with new and seasoned CV Team members and leadership and network, collaborate, and catch up on the past two years that we have been apart. On Sunday morning, April 3, we invite you to the Meet-and-Greet Breakfast in the CV Team lounge from 7 – 9 a.m. ET. This will be a great way to start out the conference day and plan and discuss sessions with other members.
