In Conjunction With (ICW) Meetings
HFSA offers the opportunity to gather heart failure experts during ASM through In Conjunction With (ICW) Meetings. These include face-to-face client meetings, personnel meetings, or hospitality functions, and they are outside the official ASM program and must be submitted for HFSA approval. The majority of ICWs will be located at contracted hotels.

Network & Connect
From the Opening Reception to Speed Mentoring, there are plenty of opportunities for you to network and connect with your fellow heart failure colleagues no matter where you are in your career.
Satellite Symposia
Satellite symposia provide valuable opportunities to explore new and emerging clinical options that complement the official scientific program. Though not part of the scientific sessions planned by the HFSA Program Committee, these industry-supported programs are designed to the same standards of evidence, scientific rigor, and fair balance. These symposia, presented in collaboration with Medical Education Providers and the Heart Failure Society of America, has had its topic, learning objectives, and faculty reviewed and approved by the ASM Satellite Review Committee, ensuring high-quality and relevant education for attendees.

These non-CEU activities are independently organized by sponsors and held before or after official ASM programming. IIEs may include educational symposia to provide clinical updates and educate attendees on current therapies, disease states, products, and pipeline activities; product or device demonstrations; poster tours; panel discussions with KOLs; or wellness activities.
Industry Expert Theaters (No CEU)
Industry Expert Theaters are no CEU educational activities held in dedicated space in the Exhibit Hall. They provide an opportunity for product-specific education. Only exhibitors are eligible to conduct an Industry Expert Theater, which cannot offer continuing education credit.
