The ACHA Tennessee Regional Conference is an educational and networking event to learn more about thriving with Adult Congenital Heart Disease. The format for this conference is new: A half day of educational presentations, followed by social and networking activities. There will be many opportunities to connect with others with CHD.
It is a dynamic partnership between the Adult Congenital Heart Association and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Please join us on Saturday, April 29, 2023. Registration and continental breakfast begin at 8 a.m. CDT. The educational program is from 9 a.m. CDT until 12 p.m. CDT. After the presentations, we will adjourn to Centennial Park for a picnic lunch and games, and a chance to meet others with CHD.
Registration for patients, family members, and friends is $25. If you register by midnight on April 12, 2023, you will receive a $5 discount. This includes continental breakfast and lunch, as well as admission to all sessions. If you registered for the postponed conference in October 2022, you do not need to register again.
