Dear CSE Members:
Given the current and rapidly evolving situation concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, the Canadian Society of Echocardiography (CSE) made the necessary and difficult decision to cancel the in-person conference scheduled for April 23-25 in Toronto this year. All the registration refunds have been completed.
Instead CSE is holding a virtual echo education meeting on Saturday, 30 May 2020 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM EDT.
We are excited to be able to bring you the Annual Echo Weekend virtually and we are confident that this accredited online alternative will meet your learning needs and we look forward to welcoming you online. The safety of CSE delegates and Canada’s health workforce is paramount and a high priority for CSE. Thank you all for your continued support of the Annual Echo Weekend.
We have decided to waive the registration fee this year and will be providing this online education event for free. We have room for only 1000 participants. Please review the program details below and register to reserve your seat.
Best regards and stay healthy.
