Seventy-one speakers, chairs, organisers and cardiac physiologists joined us in Liverpool in September. This meeting was a platform for the discussion of cutting-edge advances in the field of cardiac arrhythmia and disease, with a specific focus on cross-talk of different cell types in the heart and how these interactions may contribute to an arrhythmogenic phenotype.

The organisers, Dr Nordine Helassa (University of Liverpool, UK) and Dr Daniel Johnson (The Open University, UK) convened an exciting programme, which included 22 oral communication presentations, many of which were given by early career researchers.

This meeting was supported by the British Heart Foundation, Mapping Lab, Stratech Scientific, Cairn Research and Foresee Biosystems.

It truly was a fantastic meeting combining various experts who work on the same issue: intercellular crosstalk of the heart. My personal highlight was to realise that so many groups work on a similar topic as I do. Hence I had a great scientific exchange and was able to initiate new collaborations.
