The European Association of Echocardiography is now three years old. In our short life we have taken great strides, but many challenges and opportunities remain. This is a good time to take stock of our achievements and reflect on priorities for the next stages of our development – hopefully from sturdy toddler to vigorous youth!The decision to establish a major annual conference was the crucial step in our development from the Working Group on Echocardiography of the ESC, ultimately into the EAE, and the Euroecho meeting remains the jewel in our crown. In Florence last December we had a record attendance of almost 2900 participants from 82 countries, including a record number from industry. More abstracts than ever before were submitted (about 1100) and so the standard for acceptance was raised while the absolute number of presentations also increased. All these figures are gratifying since they explain the increasingly strong financial position of the EAE, which allows us to support new initiatives. A more interesting question than numbers, however, is why the conferences have been so successful.Euroecho has developed an important formula for the composition and balance of the scientific sessions. The strong research base and long history of development of cardiovascular ultrasound in Europe mean that we can organise excellent sessions on recent advances and research, while the wide reach of the European Society of Cardiology allows us to call on many colleagues to contribute to a very high standard of main sessions on the clinical applications of diagnostic imaging. At Euroecho we have never considered diagnosis to be an end in itself; instead we have always emphasised the clinical context and impact of high-quality diagnosis. To achieve this, many speakers have been invited to discuss basic mechanisms of disease, cardiac anatomy or physiology or pathology, and …
