ACC.21 Transitions to an All-Virtual Format

February 22, 2021—The American College of Cardiology (ACC) announced that ACC.21, the 70th annual scientific session and exposition originally planned as a hybrid event in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 15-17, will be held entirely as a virtual event. The conference website can be found here.

According to ACC, the decision to change the meeting was caused by the continued presence of COVID-19 and a sudden, sharp increase in ongoing travel restrictions imposed by health care institutions, academic medical centers, and exhibitor companies.

The virtual component of ACC.21 will continue as planned, building on last year’s meeting with an enhanced program delivered through ACC’s digital platform built for learning, collaboration, and networking. A virtual expo will offer both exhibits and education in the ACC Learning Destinations, and there will be more opportunities to engage and interact with attendees from around the world.

The program for the ACC.21 Late-Breaking Clinical Trials and Featured Clinical Research will be announced shortly.

More information is available on the Frequently Asked Questions page of the meeting’s website.
