HRS saved over 800,000 pages of paper in 2014 with EventPilot Medical Meeting App

As the international leader in science, education and advocacy for cardiac arrhythmia professionals and patients, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) attracts 12,000 attendees from 72 countries worldwide to its annual scientific sessions. With a large, complex conference program, providing convenient and cost effective resources to attendees is critical for success. Using the medical meeting app EventPilot, HRS reduced its printed programs by 50%, about 800,000 pages, at the 2014 Scientific Sessions. As part of its Going Green initiative, HRS is planning to eliminate the printed program altogether in 2015, saving over 1.6 million pages of paper and $200,000 annually.

“Event attendees reacted positively to our shift from a printed program to the conference app. During the first day of the conference, several people were toting along our program book, but by day two a vast majority had migrated to our conference app. It was actually really cool to see,” said Tim Gregory, VP at the Heart Rhythm Society.
