To register:
ISMICS traces its origins to the World Congress of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery. The society was formed on May 31, 1997 by the participants of the World Congress of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery at the Palais des Congres in Paris, France, taking a leadership role in shaping the direction of less invasive cardiac surgery on a global basis, with founding membership including representatives from all continents.
The first President chosen by the meeting participants at the World Congress was Robert W. Emery, M.D., of the Minneapolis Heart Institute. The organization has since grown into a global society hosting an annual scientific meeting that rotates between international and U.S. locations. Recent host cities include Boston, MA (2023), Athens, Greece (2024), and Istanbul, Turkey (2025), with Miami, Florida hosting in 2026. The Edinburgh International Conference Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland is set to follow the Fontainebleau Miami Beach as a future meeting venue.

The Fontainebleau Miami Beach is a landmark oceanfront resort and conference destination. The 22-acre oceanfront Miami Beach hotel features signature restaurants by award-winning chefs, two chic nightlife venues, a two-story spa, an extensive poolscape, miles of beach, and state-of-the-art conference and event facilities. Also known as the Fontainebleau Hotel and designed by architect Morris Lapidus, the luxury hotel opened in 1954.
The property offers substantial meeting space and lodging on-site. It includes elegant ballrooms and a 15,000-square-foot meeting center with two permanent boardrooms. Amenities include a luxurious spa with ocean views and three elegant ballrooms.
On-site parking is available at the Fontainebleau, primarily via valet. Valet parking runs $58 to $73 per night plus tax for hotel guests (with reentry privileges), and $40 to $53 plus tax for visitors for up to 5 hours based on availability; exceeding 5 hours triggers the overnight rate. Prices may be higher during special events.
Additional nearby parking options include: a metered lot about a quarter mile north and others across the 41st Street bridge (about a half mile), plus the Charles Garage at 4332 Collins Ave, the 4041 Collins Ave garage, and the SP+ Parking Garage at 4385 Collins Ave.
By air: The Fontainebleau is about a 15-minute drive east of downtown Miami and Miami International Airport (MIA), and roughly 30 minutes south of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. It is approximately 11.8 miles from Miami International Airport.
From MIA by car: Take I-112 east to 195 East, follow 195 East until reaching Miami Beach where it divides into Arthur Godfrey Road and Alton, continue on Arthur Godfrey Road to Indian Creek Drive, then turn left; the Fontainebleau is one block north on the right.
Taxi/rideshare: Taxi fares to and from Miami International Airport vary but are typically around $50.
The Fontainebleau Miami Beach is the host venue and primary conference hotel, offering on-site accommodations. Registration is open and hotel rooms fill quickly, so attendees are encouraged to secure their stay early.
The hotel sits in the Mid-Beach area of Miami Beach along Collins Avenue, an oceanfront corridor with numerous additional resorts and hotels within a short drive to the north and south. Oceanfront Fontainebleau Miami Beach is located in the northern Mid-Beach area, which offers a quieter, more upscale setting than South Beach while still providing beaches, dining, and easy access to Miami Beach's hot-spots.
