FIT Jeopardy is a friendly competition that promotes a healthy rivalry between ACC international chapters, fosters FIT engagement within the chapters, and provides educational value to the contestants and audience. Participants will be quizzed on a variety of topics ranging from imaging, prevention, and interventional cardiology in an unconventional manner. There will be a panel of judges and chairs to moderate the competition.

Three ACC Asia chapter teams will compete at ACC Asia 2026 Together With KSC Spring Conference and the winning team will compete at the ACC.27 competition in Houston in April 2027!

Join leaders in cardiology for an inspiring event that celebrates trailblazers shaping the future of heart health and recognizes the newest Fellows of the ACC for their dedication to advancing cardiovascular care. New Fellows will have the opportunity to see their name in lights, take the ACC oath and be honored for their outstanding achievements.

Convocation is an annual ceremony of celebration, tradition and transition held in conjunction with the ACC's Annual Scientific Session. This year, we're bringing the celebration to you at ACC Asia 2026 Together With KSC Spring Conference.
