The AHA Scientific Sessions audience: Who you’ll meet and why it matters
This annual meeting attracts a uniquely targeted and influential group of cardiovascular professionals
When deciding where to invest your exhibit dollars, one of the most important factors is the audience. Who will stop by your booth? Will they be the right fit for your product or solution? At AHA’s Scientific Sessions, the answer is a clear yes.
This annual meeting attracts a uniquely targeted and influential group of cardiovascular professionals who don’t just attend — they engage.
A community that drives cardiovascular innovation
More than 10,400 professional attendees joined us in 2024, representing the full spectrum of cardiovascular care. Over half were practicing physicians, while the rest included scientists, advanced practice providers and key decision-makers from across the health care ecosystem.
This audience isn’t passive — they come with purpose. Whether they’re seeking education, new technologies, or strategic partnerships, they’re motivated to explore the Science & Technology Hall and discover what’s next. In fact, two-thirds of attendees who visit the exhibit hall are looking for new products and services.

This breakdown reflects the breadth and depth of the field — and offers a clear opportunity to align your presence with the right segment of the market.
Engaged, domestic and exhibit hall focused
If you’re marketing primarily to U.S.-based customers, Scientific Sessions offers a direct connection: 78% of attendees are domestic, maximizing your relevance with your target audience.
And they’re not just sitting in sessions: 81% visit the exhibit hall, and two-thirds of those visitors are actively looking for new products and services. The exhibit hall isn’t an afterthought. It’s a destination.
Why this audience matters
Exhibiting at Scientific Sessions isn’t about casting a wide net. It’s about precision. You’ll meet attendees who understand the science, ask informed questions, and are prepared to take action. They’re often involved in purchasing or product evaluation, and their feedback can help shape your strategy and fuel long-term growth.
Even better? Attendee satisfaction is high, with 72% reporting they were “extremely” or “very” satisfied with their 2024 experience and 84% saying they’d recommend it to a colleague. That kind of enthusiasm creates an environment where meaningful conversations and real relationships can thrive.
Bottom line: Scientific Sessions connects you with the right people, in the right place, at the right time. This isn’t just a conference — it’s a launchpad for lasting impact.
