That's a wrap on #AFib2026! A sincere thank you to our Scientific Committees, faculty, and attendees who helped shape and deliver this year's symposium. Together, we continue to elevate standards of care, foster professional growth, and improve outcomes for people living with atrial fibrillation. In just three days, we engaged in dynamic conversations about the future of #AFib – from PFA knowns and unknowns to the industrialization of PVI to AI-driven transformation in the medical landscape. Experts exchanged views on the audience's most-voted topics; poster sessions showcased impactful new data and fresh perspectives; and SimULearn delivered technology-enabled, hands-on experiences designed to build confidence in the lab for our #EPeeps community. The strength, dedication, and generosity of the global AFib community were also on full display in support of our longstanding partnership with Operation Smile [tag] – helping expand access to life-changing surgical care and creating lasting smiles for children and young adults born with cleft conditions. We leave #AFib2026 energized, inspired, and motivated to keep advancing the future of atrial fibrillation! #AFib #MedTech #EPeeps

An inspiring day at the 24th Annual Atrial Fibrillation Symposium - Scientific Sessions! Today’s sessions highlighted the importance of keeping pace with rapidly advancing science while ensuring new innovations are adopted safely, consistently, and effectively to deliver the best possible patient outcomes. Our speakers explored key lessons from #PFA, insights into evolving workflows, the latest data on persistent #AFib ablation, and our Fact Checkers challenged perceptions and misconceptions about ablation. We also hosted two lively debates among experts: whether LAAO should be considered a valid alternative to anticoagulation for AFib patients, and whether clinicians should clip first or ablate first in cases of atrial functional mitral regurgitation. Now we’re full steam ahead into the final day of the symposium, where we’ll continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the future of AFib treatment. #AFib #AFib2026 #EPeeps
