Invitation letter

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to join us in Venice on October 3-5, 2019 at the 16th edition of the
International Workshop on Cardiac Arrhythmias, VeniceArrhythmias 2019.

VeniceArrhythmias is a well-established event on the world congress calendar for the cardiac
arrhythmia community. Over the past three decades, hundreds of physicians, scientists, allied
professionals, and industry partners from all around the world have chosen this prestigious
Workshop to meet up and discuss the latest science, and innovations in clinical arrhythmology,
cardiac electrophysiology and pacing.

As in the previous editions, the most widely recognized and internationally accredited experts
have been appointed to prepare a top-quality scientific program to foster the exchange of
scientific knowledge and research at the highest level.

The scientific agenda of VeniceArrhythmias 2019 will cover all the relevant aspects of cardiac
arrhythmias, from pathophysiology to diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.

A special feature of the up-coming edition is represented by the wide range of interactive and
practical sessions, including debates, case presentations, let’s discuss all together, and pre-
recorded and live case sessions aimed at engaging the participants and encouraging the young
and emerging leaders to be active protagonists of the event.

There will also be special initiatives, like meet the pioneers and coffee time with mentors, designed
to offer faculty members and delegates an extraordinary opportunity to share their ideas and
visions in a friendly atmosphere and to build professional relationships of great value.

As in the past, we will also have a series of joint sessions and geographic area sessions prepared in
conjunction with the most important international societies in the field of Cardiac Electrophysiology
and Pacing.

The congress will be held in the prestigious venue of the Giorgio Cini Foundation, on the
magnificent island of San Giorgio Maggiore, right in front of San Marco Square.

Finally, you will have the possibility to visit and discover the wonderful city of Venice, one of the
most evocative locations in the world, where art and history combine with the natural beauty of
the place.

We look forward to welcoming you to Venice Arrhythmias 2019!

Yours Sincerely,
