We are excited to invite you to the 38th Annual Congress of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (EACTAIC), which will be held in Budapest, Hungary, on October 11-13, 2023.

The theme of this year's congress is "Challenges and Opportunities," which reflects the evolving role of cardiothoracic and vascular anaesthesia amidst the increasing complexity of cardiovascular diseases. As our specialty continues to become ever more sophisticated, there is a greater need for multidisciplinary collaboration and convergence between cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and cardiac anaesthesia, with regards to building on our shared knowledge base and overlapping skillsets.
The congress will feature a range of scientific sessions, including plenary lectures, symposia, teaching masterclasses and workshops, all designed to share the latest advances in research, clinical practice, and education in the field.

In addition to the scientific program, there will be ample opportunities for networking and collaboration, including a welcome reception, social events, and an exhibition hall showcasing the latest products and services in cardiothoracic anaesthesiology.

Budapest is a city that captivates visitors with its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural scene. The city is known for its picturesque views of the Danube River, the magnificent Chain Bridge, and the grandeur of Buda Castle. Budapest is also famous for its thermal baths, offering a relaxing and rejuvenating experience for those who visit.  The city is also renowned for its culinary and wine virtues, offering a wide array of Hungarian culinary delicacies in famous restaurants, coffee houses, and pastry shops.

We invite you to join us in Budapest from October 11-13, 2023, for a memorable and enriching experience. The congress promises to provide an excellent opportunity to expand your knowledge, connect with colleagues, and experience the vibrant city of Budapest.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2023 EACTA Congress in Budapest.

Sincerely,

Andrea Székely
