CathSHOCK Conference
November 21, 2026
A multidisciplinary event for physicians and allied health professionals
Libin Theatre, Heritage Medical Research Building,
Foothills Campus, University of Calgary
Calgary, AB, Canada
The CathSHOCK Conference is a multidisciplinary event for physicians and allied health professionals. It showcases up-to-date approaches and management strategies for cardiogenic shock patients. Presentations focus on:
- The role of a Shock Team in the management of Cardiogenic Shock patients
- Percutaneous Mechanical Circulatory Support options
- MCS-assisted PCI – when and how to decide
- Decision making and support of the unstable patient
CathSHOCK provides a practice-based learning opportunity for the delivery of care when managing cardiogenic shock. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in simulations with dedicated Proceduralist and Non Proceduralist and Allied Health simulation streams.

Canadian Coronary Physiology and Invasive Imaging Symposium (CPI 2027)
February 2–3, 2027
Montreal Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel, Montreal, Quebec
CPI 2027 brings together interventional and general cardiologists, residents, fellows, internists, cardiovascular surgeons, nurses, and technologists to review advances in coronary physiology and intravascular imaging.
This annual Canadian meeting focuses exclusively on invasive coronary physiology and imaging technologies, including IVUS, OCT, and NIRS, and their use in diagnosis and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CAIC-ACCI members receive 10% off registration.
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION OPEN UNTIL DECEMBER 1, 2026
Physicians: $175
Fellows/Nurses/Residents: $125

Now in its 29th year, TIC connects Canadian interventional cardiologists with international colleagues to exchange ideas, review new techniques, and discuss current questions and controversies in the specialty.
The program welcomes interventional cardiologists, fellows-in-training, internists, cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons. Sessions examine evidence and emerging trends from the previous year, with expert perspectives and guideline-based approaches to cardiovascular care. CAIC-ACCI members receive 10% off registration.
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION OPEN UNTIL DECEMBER 1, 2026
Physician: $500
Fellows/Nurses/Residents: $350
Case Presenter: $300
2027 CAIC-ACCI SUMMIT
April 23 - 24, 2027
The 2027 CAIC-ACCI Summit will be held April 23–24 in Toronto, Ontario, convening interventional cardiologists and fellows-in-training from across Canada. The two-day program will feature live case demonstrations, clinical research presentations, and case-based sessions addressing current advances in coronary, structural and congenital interventions. Consistent with its mandate to advance excellence in interventional cardiovascular care, CAIC-ACCI will provide attendees with an evidence-based forum for professional education, practice-guideline updates, and collaborative exchange among leaders in the field.

2027 CAIC-ACCI Fellows Course
September 24, 25 & 26
The 2027 CAIC-ACCI Fellows Course will gather interventional cardiology Fellows in Toronto, Ontario from September 24–26 at the Doubletree by Hilton for an intensive, hands-on training experience. Designed to accelerate skill acquisition, the course pairs expert faculty with small teaching-to-student ratios across a wide range of simulation-based workshops, including wires, catheters, and vascular closure devices; mechanical circulatory support and bifurcation simulation; OCT, calcium modification, CTO techniques, IVUS, and ultrasound-guided large bore access; and structural interventions such as TAVI, LAAC, transseptal puncture, and MitraClip. Complementing the workshops are focused seminars, case discussions, and an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) that reinforce practical decision-making at the bedside. Past participants consistently describe the course as an exceptional educational experience, citing the direct access to leading faculty and the depth of device-specific, hands-on practice. CAIC-ACCI provides an expense stipend to support participation and registration will open July 2027.
