Professor Of Philosophy William B. Irvine will keynote CVI 2026’s Innovations Summit.
Interventional cardiologists and practicing physicians need to continuously learn and adapt to new data, devices, and procedures. Is there a way to better learn and progress? Can we think more and better?
Interventional cardiologists often face failures and complications that can lead to stress, depression, and burnout. Is there a better way to respond? Can the mistakes lead to improvements and better patient outcomes?
At the 10th Anniversary of the Cardiovascular Innovations meeting, Professor of Philosophy William B. Irvine will help us improve our thinking and our approach to our work and life. Dr. Irvine taught at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, for 38 years before retiring in 2020 and has written many books, including “A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy” and “How to Think More and Better: Being Reasonable in Unreasonable Times.”
Don’t miss Dr. Irvine’s keynote speech “What the Stoics Knew about the Heart” at the 2026 CVI Innovations Summit on Thursday, August 6, 2026, at 6pm. It may change your life!
