Session Overview
A Case-Based Tutorial session is a teaching group that encourages audience discussion as the invited speakers review cases on topics
chosen by the Scientific Sessions Program Committee. The session is 90 minutes in length and is comprised of two chairs and 3 - 4 invited
speakers. Based on the number of confirmed invited speakers, each speaker will receive 20 - 30 minutes of allotted presentation time.
Invited speakers will have 10 - 15 minutes for a PowerPoint presentation, which should include a minimum of three questions for youraudience. Each presentation is followed by a 10 - 15 minute Question and Answer. This session will feature a countdown feature for eachpresentation. The countdown feature will automatically end your presentation once the time has run out. At Heart Rhythm we encourageinteraction with the audience. It?s important to carefully prepare each presentation, while keeping in mind the allotted time for Questions
and Answers.
Interactive Sessions allows participants the opportunity to engage directly with the faculty during the session using the Audience Response
System (ARS). Session participants will be required to submit their presentations in advance to allow for ARS programming, A reminder
email will be sent in April to all confirmed participants to upload their presentations. For more information on how to display your questions
