Please join us in-person for the Chicagoland Perfusion Foundation 2026 conference on February 28th, 2026.
The Chicagoland Perfusion Foundation (CPF) believes that the highest quality of education happens when we come together in-person and share our combined knowledge and experiences that build relationships.
We also believe that financial boundaries should not restrict access to in-person perfusion education. Therefore, CPF has dropped our admission fees in 2025 and did not change fees for the 2026 annual meeting.
The 2026 Annual CPF Conference will focus on heart failure. We will explore and learn about emerging DCD and NRP strategies and technological advances for transplantation, including ethical considerations. We will also have student presentations, presentations from vendors and leaders in perfusion and cardiac surgery. There will be a special tribute to Dr. Bartlett who spoke at our 2023 conference, followed by an interactive all hands on ECMO simulation session. Our dinner keynote speaker Dr. Pham, will discuss the future of heart failure.
