Australasian Paediatric and Congenital Echocardiography Conference: APCEC

Hello and Kia ora,

We are delighted to welcome you to the Australasian Paediatric and Congenital Echocardiography Conference (APCEC), a two-day event bringing together the paediatric and congenital cardiac imaging community from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

APCEC follows the format of the European Echocardiography in Congenital Heart Disease Symposium, widely regarded as the leading educational course in congenital echocardiography for nearly two decades, APCEC brings this internationally recognised masterclass directly to our region.

This meeting provides an unparalleled opportunity to network, learn, and collaborate with like-minded colleagues and a world-renowned panel of experts, while enjoying everything our beautiful city has to offer.

Who should attend:

Any health professional keen to improve their knowledge and expertise in paediatric and congenital cardiac anatomy and imaging, including (but not limited to):

• Neonatologists and paediatric intensivists

• Cardiac surgeons, anaesthetists and radiologists

• Fetal medicine specialists and obstetricians

• Paediatricians and paediatric subspecialists

• Trainees, registrars and fellows

• Nurses and allied health professionals

Program at a glance:

• Basics-to-advanced curriculum — an in-depth review of the morphology and imaging of selected congenital heart lesions, together with advanced imaging topics, makes this course relevant at every level of expertise and directly applicable to clinical practice.

• World-leading international faculty — confirmed speakers joining from the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, United States and Singapore, presenting alongside a leading Australasian faculty across both days.

• Live scanning demonstrations — watch experts assess congenital heart disease in real time, and engage directly with exhibiting partners and the latest imaging technology.

• Case-based, image-rich teaching — clinical cases that link cardiac morphology to imaging, bridging the gap between anatomy and clinical application.

• Networking event — Australasian faculty, international guest experts and delegates come together in an informal setting to build relationships that outlast the conference.
