Guidelines Sessions

Dive Deeper Into the Newest Guidelines – ACC.26 Style

Bring your toughest cases and your curiosity to ACC.26. Start with Fireside Chats, intimate conversations that unpack what's new in the guidelines and why it matters in day‑to‑day practice. Then step into the Town Halls, where your questions drive the agenda – expect candid takes from guideline authors and frontline experts, plus pragmatic pearls you can use on Tuesday morning.

Ready to put knowledge to the test? Head to the Gameshow Room for fast‑paced, high‑yield competitions that turn guideline essentials into real‑time decisions. Buzz in for lightning rounds, team challenges, and case scenarios that sharpen clinical reasoning under pressure – bragging rights included.

Prefer a quick pivot between formats? Check the Engage and Heart2Heart Stages for pop‑up debates, mini‑tutorials and faculty Q&A that keep the learning kinetic. At ACC.26 you can listen, challenge and play your way to mastery – you won't just hear the latest guidance – you'll stress‑test it, debate it and own it.
