STATEMENT OF NEED

Advances in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) have yielded remarkably positive results, with a steady decline in CVD mortality across the globe. However, despite this remarkable progress, CVD remains the leading cause of death throughout the world and its prevalence remains high, making it a global public health priority and an intensive focus of research. Such research has led to new evidence that continues to accrue about the underlying pathophysiology as well as strategies to enhance CVD prevention, evaluation and treatment. As care of the patient with CVD becomes more complex, it is imperative that cardiovascular professionals have an opportunity for a comprehensive review of evidence-based practices and exposure to state-of-the-art updates, innovative techniques and translational research on the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease.

CONFERENCE OVERALL GOAL

By increasing their expert knowledge, participants should be able to identify guideline-driven, contemporary approaches to cardiovascular patient care.

Dear Partners,

The American College of Cardiology and the China Cardiovascular Association are pleased to invite you to support a groundbreaking and innovative educational initiative — the ACC-CCA Asia Conference, scheduled for November 30 – December 2, 2018 at the Kerry Hotel in Pudong. This event will continue the success of the inaugural ACC-CCA Asia Conference, held in Shanghai last year. The ACC-CCA Asia Conference will be held in partnership with ACC International Chapters throughout the Asia region and presents a unique opportunity to reach a targeted group of around 1000 cardiovascular professionals from across Asia in an intimate setting.

The three-day conference will feature exceptional educational content designed by internationally renowned faculty, and will cover the most cutting-edge research and technological advancements in cardiology. The conference will emphasize interactive education modules and hands-on clinical decision-making skills to best meet the real-world needs of cardiologists across the region. This innovative approach breaks new ground in the way that allows clinicians to interactively participate in the conference and makes the ACC-CCA Asia Conference the most exclusive and sought after professional development opportunity in Asia.

Multiple opportunities exist to support the ACC-CCA Asia Conference 2018 through customized sponsorships and an exhibitor presence. For sponsors, visibility and access to conference attendees will gain recognition for your company as a forward-thinking organization on the forefront of innovation and interested in perfecting the cardiovascular practice. For exhibitors, attendee flow into the exhibit hall will be maximized due to dedicated exhibit times, coffee breaks in the exhibit hall and co-location with a late-breaking poster session.

ACC and CCA considers supporters like you to be a vital part of this conference, providing our attendees the opportunity to gather useful information about your products and services. Your participation as a leading innovator in the cardiology field will complement the unique format of the conference and allow you to make impactful connections with the current and future leaders of cardiology in the region.

On behalf of the entire conference committee, we are excited to partner with you through the ACC-CCA Asia Conference and look forward to seeing you in Shanghai!
