Format The 4-day program includes invited lecturers, manufacturers' exhibits, symposia, and abstract and poster presentations describing original work. The featured speakers are national and international leaders and teachers in the field of echocardiography, and the format allows participants considerable interaction with the faculty. In addition to structured symposia summarizing the latest major clinical developments, the program features scientific abstract presentations, meetthe-expert panels, interactive case

Two entertaining evening functions will provide an opportunity for social interaction among participants and faculty, including a gala evening of dinner and entertainment at the Navy Pier and the President's Reception.
