The official congress app is valuable to both online and onsite participants. As an online delegate, you can check the programme and use online networking tools that will allow you to chat with other delegates and faculties. Delegates can acesss ‘My programme’ which will display all bookmarked sessions. There is also a handy recommendation tool which suggests sessions based on searches. The app will be available to download from Google Play and Apple App Store from 26 August, 2024. Find out more information on the app. (link)

CME accreditation opportunities

Continuing medical education (CME) is a fundamental tool in ongoing professional development, and ERS offers a variety of educational activities that provide CME credits. The opportunity to pick up CME credits will be available for both onsite and online delegates who register for the full Congress.

The ERS Congress has been accredited with 40 CME credits. 40 CME credits can be accrued between live sessions and session replays. CME credits are awarded based on your attendance of live sessions taking place between 7–10 September, 2024 and will be available from 20 September.
