Benefits of Presenting

The exchange of knowledge through oral abstract and poster sessions is the heart of the annual Heart Rhythm meeting and paramount to the advancement of the EP field. Share your clinical and translational research findings with colleagues from around the world while also taking advantage of the benefits of presenting:

  • Enjoy 50% off registration in your designated registration category — that's a savings of $250 - $1,175 
  • Present your research in front of 7,700+ heart rhythm professionals from around the world during the In-Person Experience in New Orleans, LA
  • Have your work published in the open-access #HRS2023 Abstract Catalog and an online supplement to the Heart Rhythm Journal

Abstracts & Posters

You spoke; we listened. Traditional poster boards are back by popular demand for Heart Rhythm 2023. Abstract presentation formats will include oral abstract, moderated poster, and traditional paper poster presentations.

The number of abstract categories and subcategories has been updated and reduced from 80 to 50 as a result of removing topics that overlap with others or are outdated/no longer applicable. These adjustments allow for the broader inclusion of emerging therapies, innovations, and research, ensuring the most timely and relevant educational programming.
