BCVS 2020 Scientific Sessions: Emerging Opportunities in Cardiovascular Diseases

Bringing cardiovascular scientists together from all over the world to promote collaboration, dissemination of novel ideas and exchange provocative hypotheses is an essential component of advancing modern cardiovascular research. While the initial planning for #BCVS20 was up-ended by the COVID-19 pandemic, considerable effort was taken to ensure that the collaborative nature of the meeting was maintained on all levels, with many lessons were learned. For example, large in-person meetings can be completely reprogrammed in a few weeks when the programming committee has no other choice!
