A Night for Advocacy and Innovation
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, at #HRS2026 in Chicago, the Heart Rhythm Society and Heart Rhythm Advocates will once again unite the global EP community for the second annual Heart Rhythm Gala, a powerful evening celebrating advocacy, innovation, and impact.
Building on the momentum of last year’s sold-out inaugural event, which raised more than $650,000 to support critical research, education, and policy initiatives, this year’s Gala promises an unforgettable evening dedicated to achieving our shared vision: to end death and suffering from heart rhythm disorders.
The scientific abstract submission deadline has passed. Notifications will be sent in January 2026.
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.
