The PICS Society is closely monitoring the evolving situation in the Middle East with deep concern for all affected. Our global community includes colleagues, friends and partners across the region. Our thoughts above all are for the safety of everyone experiencing hardship or uncertainty. 

Preparations are proceeding as planned for the PICS/IPC Istanbul 2026 meeting (April 15–18). Istanbul—bridging East and West—is a meaningful setting for a program built on international collaboration and shared commitment to advancing interventional care for those with congenital heart disease. 

We remain in communication with our local partners and will continue to assess conditions to ensure the well being of all participants. As a global professional society, our focus is on supporting those everywhere who care for patients with congenital heart disease, and on maintaining continuity of education and professional exchange. The safety of all involved is paramount and is of course our highest priority.

Updates will be shared promptly on the conference website www.picsistabul.com and directly with participants and our community. For further information see the website or contact kimberly_ray@chdinterventions.org.
