Dear colleagues,

We hope the year has got off to an excellent start for you. The past year closed on a very positive note, reinforcing our sense that we are moving in the right direction: raising the profile of adult congenital heart disease and improving the quality of care for our patients, through active contributions to several clinical practice guidelines, position papers, and a stronger presence in the scientific arena and social media. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who have contributed, or continue to contribute, to promoting and advancing our work.

Looking ahead, we are delighted to be building momentum towards our next major gathering: EuroACHD 2026 in Madrid, taking place on 10–11 April, with a pre-meeting on 9 April dedicated to diagnostic techniques. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you in person, reconnecting with colleagues, and sharing a dynamic scientific programme with sessions we believe will be both stimulating and directly relevant to your clinical practice. The opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and move the field forward together makes this meeting particularly exciting.

We very much hope to see you in Madrid!
