Annual Meetings

The Society meets yearly in May during the Annual Scientific Sessions of the Heart Rhythm Society. The scientific program is devoted to presentations by leading experts on the cutting edge of new developments in a particular area of scientific discovery, covering the spectrum of basic, translational, and clinical research. A featured speaker, the Gordon K. Moe Lecturer, is selected to lead off the symposium.
