Onsite in Barcelona

Before you travel

Print your badge

To ensure you can access the congress and start enjoying the sessions without delay, your congress badge must be printed in advance and presented at the congress entrance. Otherwise you may be invited to print it in the registration area and face delays to enter the Congress.

A mail will be sent to all delegates, end of March, including the link to print your badge. Please note: digital versions on mobile phones, tablets and other devices will not be accepted. 

You can also access this link through your My ESC account. Just go to Congresses > My congress activity to come > Manage and print your badge from the top right of your screen.

To be easily recognisable as EHRA members, we strongly recommend to:

• Print your badge in colour
• Add an 'EHRA member' sticker to your badge holder upon arrival at the Congress. Stickers will be available at identified collection points in the registration area and in various other locations throughout the congress centre

How can I interact during the presentation?

As an online delegate you will be able to interact and exchange with the session speakers via a Q&A window on the right of the presentation where you can ask questions and interact with other participants through the Forums. Each of your posts will be identified with your name and country, allowing the audience to recognise your contribution.

All posts* should be made in English so the global community can understand and respond.

*ESC term and conditions: Participants guarantee that the content he/she submits on the Forum is not obscene, threatening, harassing, deceptive, invasive of another’s privacy, offensive, defamatory of any person, illegal or otherwise deliberately intended to upset or harm other users. The European Society of Cardiology reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to edit, refuse to publish, and remove any user’s content from ESC websites at any time and without prior notice.

How can I interact with an abstract or clinical case presenter in the Research Gateway?

When consulting a presentation, you can use the following functionalities - Like, or Comment to post a message.
