WHAT THE PARTICIPANTS SAY:

“The cath lab café sessions were very good – I think they should be incorporated more into the meeting proper.”

Howard C. Herrmann, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania

WHAT THE PARTICIPANTS SAY:

“It was an excellent meeting and, absolutely, I hope to return to CSI Denver next year.

Really liked the set-up for the panelists/moderators (non-elevated "living room stage" rather than the elevated less personal set-up we see in many other conferences). Cannot think of anything specific that should be improved. What came to my attention during the heart dissection and hands-on device simulation session (which was really well attended) is to include a wet lab where attendees can learn how to snare devices such as interatrial septal/PFO/LAA occluders and misplaced coils (this is something that many fellows will not see during their fellowship).

Absolutely, the Cath Lab cafe and bootcamp sessions were very good.”

“It was my honor to be there. I absolutely loved the interaction.”

WHAT THE PARTICIPANTS SAY:

“Well, that was a very enjoyable meeting all round. Thank you for including me.
The Cath lab cafes are a great idea - they were nicely interactive and the relatively small group concept was not intimidating or threatening for those presenting cases where things did not go to plan or resulted in a complication. This format encouraged interactive comments.

I thought the split between structural and congenital was perfect. The AV setup was flawless.
It was clear that the University of Colorado faculty worked very hard on both sides of the programme and that was acknowledged around the coffee and lunch breaks by many others. Respect.

Live cases outstanding, fireworks, flowers, and chocolate for the CHCO team.
I didn't 'poll' people directly but had several comments as to how there was a 'bit of a buzz' around the meeting. Maybe because it was a sort of 'welcome back to proper conferencing' reaction but nevertheless if the programme and speaker performance hadn't been good I don't think we'd have had those comments. The overall 'feedback' which I came across informally was extremely positive.”

Neil Wilson, Oxford, UK
