Each day is dedicated entirely to one registry:
- Tuesday, October 12 – Intermacs/Pedimacs
- Wednesday, October 13 – General Thoracic
- Thursday, October 14 – Adult Cardiac
- Friday, October 15 – Congenital
A detailed agenda with speakers and session times will be available in the coming weeks.
Registration is free for STS National Database participants.*
