After months of thorough review and discussion, the American Stroke Association will present the next International Stroke Conference as a 100 per cent virtual experience due to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event will now be held March 17-19, 2021, virtually, and registration will open in December.
The American Heart Association’s Board of Directors and the Committee on International Stroke Conference Programming are focused on providing a robust and meaningful scientific exchange in a virtual format to help ensure the health and safety of all.
“We are excited to build upon the success of next month’s virtual Scientific Sessions to present the 2021 International Stroke Conference safely and virtually for all participants. We are also eager to seize the opportunity to reach new professionals from around the globe who may not have been able to attend ISC previously,” said American Heart Association president Mitchell S.V. Elkind.
“The quality of the science submitted for the meeting is incredible – it represents the dedicated efforts of so many researchers working tirelessly to share their latest efforts on stroke and cerebrovascular science and, of course, includes news findings related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We invite everyone to join us for ISC virtually in March!”
Hosting the International Stroke Conference 2021 in a 100 per cent virtual format will build upon the success of the American Heart Association’s virtual Scientific Sessions 2020 – to be held in two weeks, November 13-17, 2020.
As the Association’s premier global exchange, Scientific Sessions will feature the latest scientific advancements, research and evidence-based clinical practice updates in cardiovascular science for health care worldwide. Find out more here.
