WELCOME ADDRESS Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to welcome you to EHRA EUROPACE – CARDIOSTIM 2015, organised by the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) in collaboration with Cardiostim and the Working Groups on Cardiac Cellular Electrophysiology and e-Cardiology. The scientific content throughout the congress is exciting to say the least. The programme committee, expertly lead by Prof. Cecilia Linde, Prof. Michael Glikson and Dr. Philippe Ritter, worked from a comprehensive list of topics that really highlight the multidisciplinary and translational approach in modern electrophysiology, diagnosis of arrhythmias and conduction disturbance. This excellent programme has been put together by leading experts from around the world, and has been augmented by its alignment to the strategy of EHRA through the inclusion of sessions from the Innovation, Young EP and Women in EP communities. For the third edition in a row we have received more than 1 500 abstract submissions, and to celebrate this remarkable result we have put a real emphasis on abstract presentations. The “Best Abstracts” have been given the visibility they deserve by being on display for the whole congress, as well as a new format for the presentation of oral abstracts to facilitate communication and encourage discussion. Also, there will be two Young Investigator Award sessions, with winners announced during the Awards and Closing Ceremony. These sessions are a great opportunity to network and exchange knowledge with both the abstract presenters and the rest of the audience. The EHRA - ESC stand (B300) in the exhibition area is well worth a visit. EHRA membership gives delegates benefits such as exclusive access to EHRA Members only sessions, entry to the Members’ Lounge where you can stop for a coffee and meet with the EHRA Executive Board and get discounts on the congress registration fees. More information is available on the EHRA - ESC stand as well as from the EHRA booths located throughout the congress centre, including one in the registration area. We also have a great selection of industry partners attending the congress, bringing with them examples of cutting edge technology and medical advancements. Make sure to go and see them in the exhibition area. As well as taking in all that the congress has to offer, allow yourself some time to explore Milan. Dating back 26 centuries, it is one of the oldest cities in Europe; it really is a fascinating city. Thank you for being here with us in Milan, I wish you all a great congress and hope that you are able to make the most of all the opportunities it brings you to learn and share. Professor Karl-Heinz Kuck EHRA President, 2013 - 2015 1 SPECIAL EVENTS All participants are personally invited by the President of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) to the Inaugural session Sunday 21 June 2015 18:15 - 19:15 in room Milano Performance Welcome addresses EHRA EUROPACE - CARDIOSTIM 2015 Highlights Opening Address Performance The European Heart Rhythm Association is pleased to invite you to the Networking reception in the exhibition area directly after the Inaugural session.
