I invite you to come to our 13th Annual Canadian Society of Echocardiography meeting May 12th to May 14th at the Hilton in downtown Toronto. The meeting promises to be our largest ever. This year we will once again run parallel sessions for sonographers and physicians. The Sonographer session will be the largest session in our history.

As always, the Canadian Echo Weekend is designed around your needs and the requests you have made over the past twelve meetings. We will focus on what you tell us is common in your clinical setting and will help you to improve patient care. We will be using external audiovisual support to ensure optimal image clarity.

This year's guest speaker from the American Society of Echocardiography will be Dr. Sanjiv Kaul who will be presenting : "Advances in Contrast Echocardiography". New this year will be presentations on "Echo for Detection of Masses", "Echo in Sudden Death or Syncope Survivors", "Quality Assurance in the Echo Lab" And "Echo Guided Procedures".

The faculty is looking forward to seeing you again this year at the 13th Annual Canadian Society of Echocardiography meeting.
