28th Annual CSE Hybrid Echo Weekend

April 30 to May 2, 2026, Vancouver

28th Annual Canadian Society of Echocardiography Hybrid Echo Weekend

Highlights include this year’s guest speakers: Dr. Johathan Lindner, University of Virginia, will be giving the Jim Swan Lecture entitled: Ultrasound in Space and the Austere Environment, and Dr. Denisa Muraru, President-elect of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging. We expect to confirm the leading speaker from the American Society of Echocardiography very soon.

Due to popular demand, we will again be hosting the Sonographer Forum, along with a concurrent Accreditation Update Session. In-person moderated poster presentations of scientific abstracts from our trainees and early career faculty across Canada will occur throughout the program, with judging and awards for the top presenters. We will also be show-casing the work by our CSE CREATE grant researchers. Each day will conclude with our iconic interactive educational and entertaining sessions: on Friday, The CSE Game Show (rebranded as “Echo Case Challenge Cup” ), and on Saturday, the national review of “Classic Cases Across Canada” where our colleagues across the country share challenging, intriguing, and controversial cases.

Of course, there will be plenty of opportunities for networking with colleagues, and engagement with our expert faculty, including an early morning Saturday FUN RUN in Stanley Park hosted by your chairs!

Stay tuned for additional information on the program, including the plenary sessions, learning labs and workshops.

We are looking forward to reconnecting with you and sharing dynamic, engaging, and informative sessions.
