NEW THIS YEAR: International Symposium

Friday, November 15
12:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.

This program will focus on the diverse perspectives that AHA Science brings via experts, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to explore cutting-edge advancements in cardiovascular health. We will feature engaging panel discussions, where our volunteers in the field share insights on critical topics, while attendees will have a unique opportunity to actively participate in these discussions, fostering collaboration and shaping the "second century" vision of AHA research and practice.

The symposium is free to AHA Professional Members, but you must register to attend. The cost for non-members is $299.
