Submissions are Open
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: Exhibitors will be invited to submit applications to present clinical trials (preferably focused on novel technologies) for consideration to be included in the HFSA Devices Meeting 2026. There will be two sessions focused on trials: Trial Tinder and Heart Tank – The Future in the Making.
Trial Tinder is intended for device companies that are running a trial (in process phase 1 or 2) and Heart Tank is intended for device companies that are pre-clinical or in early planning and looking for sites or companies about to launch into a trial.
The focus of the trials should be relevant to the state and use of devices and technologies in heart failure. Submission of trials at different stages of development is encouraged, and the HFSA Device Education Task Force will consider all applications and select a small subset of eligible submissions to be offered participation in one of the two sessions.
Trials can only be presented in one of the two sessions.
