Building on the growing momentum in pediatric cardiac critical care across India, the 5^th Annual Meeting of the Society of Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care (SPCCC-2027) will be hosted by STAR Hospitals at Hyderabad (Telangana) in June 2027. The meeting will bring together experts from across the country and abroad to advance the science and practice of pediatric cardiac intensive care through a comprehensive academic program focused on improving outcomes for children with congenital and acquired heart disease.

The conference is designed for pediatric intensivists with a special interest in cardiac critical care. It will feature a rich scientific program comprising high-quality lectures by renowned national and international faculty, interactive sessions, panel discussions, debates, and case-based learning forums. Emphasis will be placed on the management of critically ill children with heart disease, covering perioperative care, hemodynamic monitoring, mechanical circulatory support, imaging, emergency management, and advances in postoperative intensive care. The conference will also serve as a platform for collaboration among allied specialties, including Pediatric Cardiology, Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia, and Pediatric Cardiac Surgery. By fostering multidisciplinary interaction, the meeting aims to strengthen teamwork and promote evidence-based practices across the continuum of pediatric cardiac care.

A dedicated Pre-conference Workshop will precede the main scientific sessions, offering participants an immersive learning experience through hands-on training, skill stations, wet-lab sessions, and live demonstrations. Designed to enhance practical knowledge and procedural competence, the workshop will provide participants with opportunities to engage directly with faculty experts and gain exposure to contemporary techniques and technologies relevant to pediatric cardiac intensive care.

The program will encourage active participation and exchange of ideas, creating a stimulating environment for learning and professional development. SPCCC-2027 at Hyderabad promises to be a premier academic event dedicated to advancing pediatric cardiac critical care. By bringing together clinicians, surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, intensivists, nurses, and trainees, the conference aims to facilitate knowledge sharing, inspire innovation, and contribute to the continued growth of this evolving subspecialty in India and beyond.
