ACC Lake Louise, in Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provides a five-day scientific program on the latest diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive approaches to cardiovascular disease. Faculty are among those who set the worldwide cardiovascular agenda, and this accredited event has a 25-year tradition of CME excellence.

The conference is designed to benefit cardiologists, internists, general practitioners, cardiovascular surgeons and other healthcare professionals interested in cardiovascular medicine and surgery. The program consists of lectures, panel discussions and knowledge translation workshops.

At Lake Louise, there are family-friendly ski runs for all levels of ability as well as miles of beautiful cross-country trails. Special lift ticket discounts are available for conference attendees and their families.

And if you need a break from skiing, there is always ice skating on beautiful Lake Louise or workout opportunities in the fully equipped health club. You can also experience dog- and horse-sled rides or pamper yourself in the newly updated spa. Don’t forget to satisfy culinary cravings with the exquisite food selection in the Château’s several dining rooms.

At the end of the day, you can simply relax and enjoy one of the most scenic vistas in the world.

At Lake Louise, there’s something for everyone!
