The 2019 Annual Congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), held in collaboration with the World Congress of Cardiology of the World Heart Federation, took place in Paris from August 31 to September 4. With more than 33 500 attendees, this meeting of the largest congress of cardiovascular (CV) medicine in the world achieved an all-time record of attendance. For the first time, it was hosted in a venue in downtown Paris, Port de Versailles, which has recently been extensively renovated. Access was easy thanks to a wide range of public transportations including the Metro. At the entrance, the ‘wow effect’ was created by a circular LED screen measuring more than 120 m long and 2 m high. The compact setting of the venue, with the vast majority of the activities taking place in the central three-story building, immediately conquered the attendees allowing delegates to easily become oriented and feel comfortable. Despite the attractiveness of Paris and the nice weather, the sessions were packed until the end of the day.
What a congress!

With more than 33 500 attendees, this meeting of the largest congress of cardiovascular (CV) medicine in the world achieved an all-time record of attendance. For the first time, it was hosted in a venue in downtown Paris, Port de Versailles, which has recently been extensively renovated. Access was easy thanks to a wide range of public transportations including the Metro. At the entrance, the ‘wow effect’ was created by a circular LED screen measuring more than 120 m long and 2 m high. The compact setting of the venue, with the vast majority of the activities taking place in the central three-story building, immediately conquered the attendees allowing delegates to easily become oriented and feel comfortable.
