ESC Spring Summit
Our diversity is our strength
ESC Spring Summit is where strategies are developed and plans turn into action.
Hosted at the European Heart House in Sophia Antipolis, France, the summit is a chance for European Society of Cardiology leaders and National Cardiac Societies to meet and develop strategies to confront important issues in cardiovascular health.
Discussions and debates around a specific theme help attendees get a better understanding of the topic and bring about progress, whether in policy, research or clinical practice.
The 2026 theme is ‘Towards a Global Cardiovascular Health Plan: Tackling Obesity, Aging and Environment’. A timely focus in light of the recently adopted EU Safe Hearts Plan and an exciting opportunity for all ESC member countries to seize the opportunities this plan will initiate. The ESC Spring Summit 2026 agenda will take attendees on a deep-dive into learning more about and finding solutions to these challenges. As it's an ESC election year, candidates will also be presenting their visions for the ESC.
