MedicMess Tips

  • Use the Research Gateway to review abstracts and clinical cases.
  • Print the badge before travel because it also acts as the Munich transport pass.
  • Late onsite registration savings end 31 July 2026.
  • Abstract and clinical case results are already available, so use this meeting mainly for presentation attendance, networking and published supplement visibility.

The programme spans every major cardiology subspecialty, including late-breaking trials, new ESC guidelines, digital cardiology, clinical evidence, cardiometabolic care and sessions for general cardiology, nurses and allied professionals. It is particularly strong for doctors who want broad clinical updates, research visibility and networking at scale.
