@VivekBhatMBBS et al. analyzed the registration fees of major cardiology conferences worldwide. We included conferences organized by international cardiovascular societies and those representing global regions. We collected 2024 registration fees from official conference websites, taking 2023 or 2022 fees if unavailable, and categorized them according to career stage and society membership status. Where specified, we chose ‘early-bird’ fees. All fees were converted to US dollars according to currency exchange rates per the International Monetary Fund on December 4, 2023, or if unavailable, per the last reported US Treasury Data. Other data collected included host country, virtual option availability, and
#LMIC discounts.

Was looking forward to EuroEcho this December in Berlin...then I saw the registration fees! 😱
My *annual* study leave budget is £1000, so registration fees of 700-800 Euros are out of the question (and almost the same as the main ESC Congress).
I'll be staying in 🇬🇧! 😭
