Dear colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to St. Gallen for the SSC/SSCS Annual Meeting 2027, taking place from 16–18 June 2027 at the Olma Messen St.Gallen.

As the annual congress of the Swiss Society of Cardiology and the Swiss Society of Cardiac Surgery, the meeting brings together clinicians, researchers and healthcare professionals from across Switzerland and beyond to exchange knowledge, discuss innovations and strengthen collaborations in cardiovascular medicine.

Together with the Scientific Committee, we have prepared a comprehensive scientific programme covering the full spectrum of contemporary cardiology and cardiac surgery. During the three congress days, participants will benefit from lectures on the latest clinical guidelines, emerging evidence and technological advances shaping our field.

Interactive workshops, postgraduate courses and learning opportunities will enable both early-career and experienced colleagues to deepen their expertise in specific areas. Oral abstract sessions and poster walks will showcase outstanding scientific research and stimulating clinical cases, providing an ideal platform for discussion and exchange.

Beyond the scientific programme, the congress offers numerous opportunities to meet colleagues, reconnect with friends and engage with our industry partners in a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere.

We are confident that the SSC/SSCS Annual Meeting 2027 will provide an enriching scientific and professional experience, and we very much look forward to welcoming you to St. Gallen.

With our kindest regards,

Diego Arroyo
Congress President
