Scientific Programme ESC Congress 2018 Munich (25-29 August): Congress Report 8 2.1 Venue – Organisation Of The Programme 2.1.1 Villages All villages have two lecture rooms except for Village 6 (Arrhythmia) which featured a new room design, the “Library Room”. This room was used for special sessions with panel discussions and also used by industry as an overflow room for the Lecture Room KIEV. The Spotlight Village combined multiple topics most of which were related to the spotlight of the congress “Valvular Heart Disease”. 2.1.2 Hub This year the Hub was split into two areas. The Centre Stage hosted larger sessions including the LIVE CASES Sessions – LIVE IN A BOX – and Great Debate sessions. 2.1.3 Digital Health Area The entire Digital Health/eCardiology programme was held in this specifically designed area. Technology demonstration sessions were also held in the Digital Health Area based on the Call for Technology which was launched by the ESC this year. 2.1.4 Poster Area Moderated ePoster stations were redesigned to optimise acoustics and ato cater for a larger audience. The best poster screen was located in front of the respective Poster Board areas as in previous years. 2.1.5 Science Box The Science Box was specifically designed to host the oral abstract sessions in the traditional format of presentation. 2.1.6 Agora The Agora rooms hosted Rapid Fire abstract sessions as well as some special sessions which were suited to a casual / interactive environment. 2.1.7 ESC TV Stage The ESC TV Stage was positioned in ESC Plaza along with ESC Stand, Professional Member’s Lounge, Fellows of the ESC (FESC) Lounge. This year sessions such as “Meet the Trialist” were also hosted on this stage. ESC Congress 2018 Munich (25-29 August): Congress Report 9 2.2 New Structure For The ESC Congress Programme 2.2.1 ESC Topic List The new topic list was implemented this year in the programme for abstract submissions and in all related indexing of congress content. 2.2.2 New Schedule The size and scope of the congress programme combined with the increase in related activities (ESC Stand, ESC Professional Members’ Lounge, Digital Health Area), and the requirement of industry partners for increased visibility in the exhibition, led to adjustments being made in this year’s congress session schedule. Adjustments allowed for more time between sessions and a longer lunch break in order to avoid a time conflict with the industry lunch sessions. These positive changes enhanced the overall delivery of the sessions. The 2018 schedule was as follows: • Breakfast 07:45 – 08:15 • Morning 08:30 – 10:00 (90 minutes) • Coffee break sessions 10:05 or 10:10 – 10:50 • Late morning 11:00 – 12:30 (90 minutes) • Lunch sessions (Industry) 13:00 – 13:45 or 14:00 • Afternoon mession 14:30 – 15:45 (75 minutes) • Coffee break afternoon 15:50 or 15:55 – 16:35 • Late afternoon session 16:45 – 17:45 (60 minutes). Session formats and content were adapted to fit their assigned time slots either at the time of session construction or upon review once scheduled. 2.3 ESC Congress 2018 Programme 2.3.1 Programme Composition By Type Of Sessions Table 2.1: Programme Composition by Type of Session Abstract-based Programme 219 Abstract Session 30 Advances in Science 60 Best Posters 7 Clinical Cases 7 Moderated Posters 63 Poster Session 7 Rapid Fire Abstracts 38 ESC Congress 2018 Munich (25-29 August): Congress Report 10 Table 2.1: Programme Composition by Type of Session - Continued Abstract-based Programme 219 Special Session 1 Young Investigator Award Abstracts 6 Scientific And Educational Programme 339 Cardiology@Breakfast 13 Case-based Session 22 Debate Session 15 Expert Session 33 Inaugural Session / Award Ceremony 2 LIVE IN THE BOX 6 Main Session (ESC Guidelines 2018) 6 Special Session 57 Symposium 184 Late-breaking Science Programme 29 Late-Breaking Science 14 Hot Line Session 5 Meet the Trialist 10 Total 586 2.3.2 ESC Programme – Other Related Sessions Other related sessions in the ESC programme were organised around the scientific programme.
