Recommendations:
This congress edition shows again a high percentage of new participants (64%). The participant
chooses to attend for personal conviction (66%) but 12.6% were convinced from a colleague and
8.7% from their managers
The congress has still a lot of opportunities to attract new participants via institutions and by
“word of the mouth”.
The delegates gave us various websites and journals as sources of information.
We will have to use these references to promote the congress when the services will open.
36 | P a g e
Every year, the quality and the scientific content; the presentation of the latest science or of a
poster/abstract are the main factors for attending the congress but the destination is also another
criteria of decision (17.5% in 2013).
For the past 2 editions, Acute Coronary Syndrome; Acute heart Failure; Sudden death/resuscitation;
General intensive care are the topics which show the most interest.
In 2013, the favourite sessions were: the cases by residents; the CPR workshops and the Young
Investigator awards noted with “good” or “excellent”.
This is an important result as the cases by resident were a brand new session.
Again this year, the participants are looking for hot lines/latest/original research sessions
(72%); practical/clinical cases sessions (60%) and “how-to” perform research in ICU (38%).
The delegates are positive to extend the scope of the Acute Cardiac Care Congress with a
multidisciplinary approach to some hot topics for example experts in the field discussing specific
topics (for example an interventional cardiologist, electro physiologist or an expert in heart failure):
We note an improvement in the session overlap. Last year, 50% of the participants found that the
sessions were running simultaneously with only 21% in 2013.
Toolkit:
The new ACCA toolkit was picked up by 78% of the participant and 85% of them think that it is
absolutely useful. Only 7.2% think that it is “low of interest” in their daily practice.
Exam:
For the past 2 years, 80% of delegates are attending the exam with 20% attending the prior
session to the exam (82% thinks that it is “helpful and maximise the chance to succeed the exam”).
Mobile app:
For the first time, a mobile app was produced (cf. mobile app report). From this device, 53% have
downloaded the abstracts.
Other congresses:
We remain on the same percentage from last year; around 23% of the delegates attended another
congress in the field of Acute Cardiac Care (mainly: European Resuscitation Council congress and
ESICM congress).
Acute Cardiovascular Care will have to send promotional flyers to these specific congresses.
For next year meeting in Switzerland:
38% responded that they will attend the congress and 62% don’t know yet because of financial
reasons.
Social media:
Delegates would like to receive information about the congress via email on a monthly basis.
25% use Facebook; 17% Google+; 15.2% use LinkedIn and 5.4% twitter to share their experience.
Acute Cardiovascular Care 2014 should use these social media for promotion.
