Security

The Heart Failure Association, the ESC, the Palais des Congrès de Paris and its partners have made the security of our delegates a primary concern. For reasons of national security, the French government have extended the duration of the State of Emergency until July 2017. Reinforced security controls may delay you slightly in your trip.

Arriving in Paris

Controls are possible at French customs for all incoming international flights including those from within the European Union. Please make sure you travel with the necessary documents and integrate this into your schedule when planning your arrival.

At Heart Failure 2017

The Palais des Congrès de Paris has a very high level security plan complying with the State of Emergency. For obvious reasons we are unable to share these confidential arrangements, designed to protect congress delegates to the maximum level.

Please be notified that you may be subject to a security control of your handbags or luggage when entering the building; we advise you to make the necessary arrangements in order not to be delayed in your schedule.

In collaboration with the relevant authorities, ESC-HFA and the Palais des Congrès de Paris will continue to keep these arrangements under review and keep our delegates informed should we foresee any logistic impact on the congress.
