SOLACI -SOCIME’25
The Latin American Society of Interventional Cardiology (SOLACI) was created to advance and promote cardiovascular interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean. Since 1994, SOLACI has strived for excellence through several strategies that include education and training, research promotion, guidelines development, regular meetings, regional sessions, and constant exchange between members. Today, SOLACI represents hemodynamics in 20 countries, has more than 2500 active members and strong alliances with the main interventional cardiology societies, both regional and international. SOLACI’s commitment to research and training resulted in increasingly important meetings and courses. This year they will be helding the SOLACI SOCIME congress, reuniting the most prestigious leaders in the field of intervetional cardiology. They have developed a program that includes the most relevant topics in intervetional cardiology, combining scientific evidence with the talent and skills of renowned physicians who will participate in live cases, case discussions, symposia, workshops, and forums for in depth analyitical discussion

Pediatric and Congenital Interventional Cardiovascular Society
Since 1997 the Pediatric and Congenital Interventional Cardiovascular Society (PICS) Foundation has held the annual Pediatric & Adult Interventional Cardiac Symposium. The Symposium has a proud history of excellence in education for physicians, nurses and technologists in minimally invasive treatments of congenital heart disease (CHD) field. Each year the Symposium focuses on the newest technologies, teaching via live cases, dealing with (and avoiding) challenges, tried-and-true refreshers and much more. After their 25th anniversary year the PICS Foundation formally transformed into the PICS Society, the professional global “home” for those dedicated to CHD field. The PICS Society will continue to offer the annual PICS Symposium as their flagship event.

World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery
Held every 4 years, the World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery (WCPCCS) is the most comprehensive and technologically advanced meeting in pediatric and congenital heart disease. Congress attendees learn new techniques, share best practices, and see the latest in technology and research. The 1st World Congress was held in London in 1980, and this year is their 9th meeting. Leaders in the field from all parts of the world will join efforts to develop an exciting programme that spans the full spectrum, ranging from clinical to basic subjects, common to rare conditions, disease to health, humanitarian programme to human footprint, real to unreal, and traditional core to cutting edge topics in developing and developed countries. There will be 18 tracks with defined course content, interdisciplinary mingling, interactive workshops, sparking debates, plenary sessions, pre-congress symposia, and oral and poster abstract presentations. Special topics include artificial intelligence and augmented reality, digital health and big data, innovative therapies from genes to cells, personalized paediatric cardiac care, and rare disease.

CSI Frankfurt
CSI is dedicated to promoting development in the field of congenital, structural and valvar heart disease interventions worldwide. Lead by experts in the field, CSI supports and promotes global and multidisciplinary collaboration by providing educational conferences, workshops and online learning opportunities. CSI started off in 1996 as a simple workshop for a particular ASD occluder, the ASDOS, with a few additional topics to fill a one-day program. Fast forward 20 years and the program for CSI Frankfurt now includes over 40 scheduled live cases transmitted from cardiovascular centers all over the world. The scope of the program has widened to include not only congenital, but also structural and valvar heart disease interventions and we have recently also introduced device therapies for heart failure as a topic. CSI Frankfurt this year includes over 200 lectures, more than 80 sessions, 22 of which contain live transmissions.
