Save the date for the 2026 NSW ACE Winter Meeting to be held on Saturday 20 June 2026 at Hilton Hotel Sydney.

Cardiac complexity is becoming an everyday reality in anaesthesia practice. Across theatres, preop clinics and emergency settings, we’re encountering patients with increasingly intricate cardiac histories, and the pace of change in cardiology means the goalposts never stay still for long. This year’s meeting, “Hearts at the Hilton” is built around that evolving landscape – a chance to pause, recalibrate, and deepen our understanding of the cardiac challenges shaping modern perioperative care.

Our program brings together a broad spectrum of topics designed to support anaesthetists at every stage of practice. We’ll explore contemporary approaches to perioperative cardiac risk and unpack the essentials of cardiology that matter most in our day-to-day decision making. Obstetric cardiac cases will also feature, reflecting the unique considerations these populations bring to the table.

Practical skills remain front and centre. Perioperative ECG and rhythm analysis will be incorporated, while updates on heart failure and STEMI definitions will ensure we’re aligned with current evidence and terminology. As always, the program has been shaped with annual CPD requirements in mind, incorporating emergency response activities, and opportunities for meaningful critical reflection.

We look forward to welcoming you to Hearts at the Hilton, a meeting designed to inform, challenge and inspire as we navigate the ever-expanding world of cardiac care together.
