What’s new at Scientific Sessions? Programming that pulls in your audience

This year’s enhancements are designed to attract and energize new audiences

AHA’s Scientific Sessions 2025 is expanding in exciting ways, with new programming, deeper educational experiences, and more opportunities for meaningful interaction. For exhibitors, that means greater access to a highly engaged audience of cardiovascular clinicians, researchers and decision-makers who rely on AHA to stay at the forefront of patient care and innovation.

This year’s enhancements are designed to attract and energize new audiences:

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Medical Society (HCMS) Annual Meeting
For the first time, this respected society is co-locating with Scientific Sessions—bringing a focused group of specialists and thought leaders in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to the exhibit hall.
Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) Health Symposium
CKM is a fast-emerging area of care. This symposium will attract clinicians actively seeking new tools, approaches and solutions for managing complex patients.
Core Cardiology Programming
Built specifically for the general cardiologist, this new track strengthens AHA’s reach among front-line clinicians who drive practice-level decisions and patient care strategies.
Genomic and Precision Medicine Symposium
As precision medicine gains traction, this symposium will draw forward-thinking providers eager to integrate new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches into their work.
Expanded Moderated Digital Posters in the Science & Technology Hall
More interactive formats mean more attendees sticking around to ask questions, share insights and engage — creating a prime opportunity for brand visibility and hallway conversation.

Delivering the audience you want
While these program expansions are designed to attract new cardiovascular professionals, Scientific Sessions already boasts a top-quality audience. Here’s a quick snapshot from 2024:

12,900+ total attendees
10,400+ professional attendees
54% Physicians • 21% Scientists • 17% Other healthcare professionals
78% Domestic attendees

Attendees are highly motivated:

81% visit the exhibit hall
2 in 3 are looking for new products and services
72% were extremely or very satisfied with the 2024 meeting
84% would recommend it to a colleague

More than just sessions. It’s an experience.
Beyond the new programming, Scientific Sessions is leveling up across the board:

21 specialized education communities = focused exhibit hall traffic and deeper conversations
Expanded professional development = more early-career and mid-career professionals interested in your products or services
Enhanced Simulation Zone = immersive, hands-on engagement
AI & emerging technology sessions = attracting tech-savvy clinicians wanting to learn about your cutting-edge developments
Learning Theaters in a reimagined space = fresh, modern and built for discovery

Whether you’re launching a product, showcasing a service, or simply reinforcing your brand, Scientific Sessions 2025 is where your next customer will be. The only way to be part of these conversations is to show up and show off what you have to offer.
