AEPC 2024

It is an honour and pleasure to invite you all to the 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology to be held in Porto, Portugal, between 8-11 May 2024.

The Local Organising Committee – consisting of national members of paediatric cardiology centres northern, central, and southern Portugal – is dedicated to offering you a great meeting, one that will provide an opportunity for health professionals and researchers to share and discuss research findings, to exchange ideas and insights and to network for collaboration and career development. We are working closely with the AEPC Scientific Committee to create an inspiring and attractive scientific programme with highly prestigious speakers, to address current issues and new challenges in the field of paediatric and congenital cardiology.

AEPC 2024 will take place at the Centro de Congressos da Alfândega do Porto, a historic building located in the old city centre Porto, by the Douro River.
