Why attend a World Congress of Cardiology?

Active participation by industry in the WCC  2012 is an opportunity not to be missed due to the size, potential and importance of the growing Middle Eastern market to the world economy. The WCC provide a unique platform for reaching broad scientific audiences and expanding into growing and increasingly important new markets such as the Middle East.

Why Dubai?
No one can doubt the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with proven statistics of more than 17 million people dying each year and a staggering 82% of lives claimed in low- and middle-income countries. We all know that CVD is the number one killer worldwide and in the UAE itself it is responsible for 29% of all annual deaths.
It is the first time in its 62-year history that the WCC has been held in the Gulf region. Dubai, situated as the gateway to the Middle East in the heart of the Gulf, has the infrastructure, the air links and, above all, the need and desire to bring together the world and regional experts on heart health, CVD and stroke.
By choosing easily accessible Dubai as the destination for the WCC 2012, the World Heart Federation has taken a significant step toward fulfilling its mission in leading the fight against heart disease and stoke for many low-and middle income regions and countries within easy reach – including Africa, the Middle East, South-East Asia and India.

Why hold an industry satellite activity and /or educational workshop at WCC 2012?
Companies are invited to organize satellite activities as part of the WWCC 2012. These allow companies to attract interested, qualified delegates and update them first-hand on the science that underpins your campaigns and products. It is one of the most educational formats for open, frank and interactive learning and debate between the medical profession on the topics most relevant to your corporate goals. The time slots are specifically allocated to be independent of the main scientific programme, maximizing the numbers of delegates that can attend your industry satellite activity.
