We want to express our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us for the 9th Heart Failure Symposium on October 1, 2024.
Our 2024 Symposium was a real crowd-pleaser, and it was wonderful to connect with more than 200 members of our community at the Toronto Reference Library. We had sessions covering cutting-edge heart failure research, an interactive workshop on boosting collaboration, a showcase of trainee posters, and we gave away over $5,000 in awards! If you missed any of the talks or simply want to rewatch your favourites, the recordings are available on our YouTube channel!
A big shout-out once again to all our amazing speakers, and congratulations to the outstanding award winners!
