This year, we gather under a bold and forward-looking theme:
As medical technology advances at an unprecedented pace, artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the landscape of healthcare and redefining the future of Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS). Our scientific program has been thoughtfully designed to explore how AI can enhance clinical decision-making, optimize patient outcomes, strengthen education and simulation, and transform the delivery of ECLS care.
Over the course of five dynamic days, this conference will serve as a premier international platform to:
We are proud to host more than 100 distinguished international regional and local experts who will lead an exceptional educational experience. The conference begins with 10 specialized pre-conference workshops over the first two days, followed by three days of an intensive scientific program featuring keynote lectures, expert panel discussions, oral abstract presentations, and poster sessions.
Whether you are a physician, nurse, perfusionist, researcher, educator, or allied healthcare professional, your participation is invaluable. Your expertise, collaboration, and ideas will help shape the next generation of advanced life support.
