AF Podium Connection

Around the world. Throughout the year.

Block iamge

The “AF Podium Connection” is a subscription service that provides clients with market insights from seven major EP and Cardiology congresses globally.

The subscription covers a period of 12 months, and during this time, Institutional subscribers will receive access to all deliverables from each congress. In addition, Institutional subscribers will receive access to all “ad hoc” reports on specific topics, such as pulsed field ablation (PFA). Individual subscribers receive summary reports from all congresses.

Block iamge

For each congress, subscribers will receive the AF Market Insights Report, which provides truly independent insights – there are no advertisements, no sponsors, no industry support of any kind.

The reports are based exclusively on publicly available information from the congresses. We also track topics over time to provide early insights on emerging trends in cardiac ablation.

Block iamge

Before each congress, Institutional subscribers also receive the “Podium Planner”, and during the congress, we publish daily “From the Floor” updates.

All deliverables contain external links to supporting information such as press releases, clinical trial entries, SEC filings, etc. See below for full details.

Initially we are focused exclusively on cardiac ablation, but over time, we plan to expand our scope within EP beyond cardiac ablation as our company grows.

DELIVERABLES

For each of the seven congresses, we provide the following three deliverables for Institutional subscribers:

AF Market Insights Report

A comprehensive report of all major insights on the AF market shared during the congress that is organized by company and key topics.

We do more than just “report the news”. We provide context on what was said and explain why it is important. We track topics over time to identify emerging trends in the cardiac ablation industry.

Our reports cover all major events during a congress, including off-site symposia and separate events held before the actual congress begins.

Individual subscribers will receive summary reports from all seven congresses.

Features of the AF Market Insights Report:

PodiumShare

We developed a proprietary scoring system for each event at a congress which is then used to create the PodiumShare table. This graphic depicts the largest share of the podium, by Company and by Product.

Presentation Scoreboard

We track presentations over time and report out to subscribers who is presenting on cardiac ablation the most often.

Executive Summaries

We condense all the insights from each congress to just a few pages and organize them by company/topic.

Detailed Updates

For Institutional subscribers who want all the details of a given presentation, we provide detailed summaries for each item included in the report.

Podium Planner

Ahead of each congress, we review the entire agenda - every presentation, poster, and moderated poster; every symposium and off-site symposium, every industry sponsored event and every separate event adjacent to the congress. Everything.

We then create the “Podium Planner” that includes all key events for the AF market scheduled at the congress, filtering out events that are not focused on cardiac ablation.

The planner is organized by day and also contains proprietary notes to further guide subscribers who are attending the event in person.

From The Floor

We keep you connected during the actual congress by publishing daily summaries from the event.

Each day at a congress contains valuable presentations and we know some subscribers may not want to wait for the full report. Therefore, we provide daily updates with highlights on what we see “From the Floor”.

Our daily updates include key data points from the most impactful presentations. We also include external links to press releases and other supporting information.

CONGRESSES

We attend all seven congresses in person and we also analyze all available online content from every channel and format, from presentations to individual posters to off-site industry symposia. In addition, we attend all events adjacent to the congresses, such as the annual “Stanford Biodesign New Arrhythmia Technologies Retreat” that is held the day before HRS.
