Overview
Rhythm Interventions Online will return 29 November – 1 December 2023
Following the huge success of the first three annual editions, Rhythm Interventions Online (RIO) is firmly established as one of the leading virtual education events serving the global electrophysiology community and cardiac rhythm management communities.
Last year’s event brought together opinion leaders from 15 countries, seven live case centres, and a global audience of thousands. Click here to watch RIO 2022 on-demand.
With a reach that is truly global – in 2022, over 2,500 healthcare professionals from 160 countries joined for twelve hours of CME-accredited best-in-class education – RIO 2023 promises to be larger still.
Combining insight, tips and tricks from a faculty of globally-recognised thought-leaders, alongside live cases from internationally-renowned centres of excellence, RIO 2023 will be a unique and immersive virtual experience.
RIO 2023’s programme will be carefully curated with a single goal at its core: to best support you, the healthcare practitioner, achieve optimum clinical outcomes in electrophysiology and cardiac rhythm management.
Exclusively live. Entirely free.
