1️⃣ Who Attends (Buyers / Attendees)

This event is not a typical consumer or retail conference. BCVS is science-led and audience-composition tends to be heavy in “research ecosystem” roles. For attendee-list and buyer-list research, we treat “buyers” as the people most able to evaluate, purchase, sponsor, collaborate on, or influence scientific services and cardiovascular-related solutions.

Main attendee/buyer groups we see fit for this type of event:

• Academic cardiovascular researchers and lab leaders (faculty, principal investigators, department-level research leaders)
• Research administrators and translational program leaders (university research offices, clinical research leadership, discovery-to-development program staff)
• Corporate R&D and scientific leadership (cardiovascular therapeutics, drug discovery, device research, preclinical teams)
• Regulatory/scientific policy-adjacent stakeholders (scientific strategy and evidence-generation leadership)
• Healthcare innovation and research partnerships stakeholders (collaboration management, scientific alliances, grant/consortium participation)
• Communications and medical education stakeholders (when research content translates into professional education)

Best “buyer” framing for our outreach: We position BCVS as a targeted environment to reach decision-makers who influence research investment, partnerships, evidence generation, scientific communications, and cardiovascular discovery workflows.

2️⃣ Where the Show Is Happening + Attendee Geographic Origin

2025 location (verified): Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
2026 reference (from the same provided page text): Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

Attendee geographic origin (research-based expectation for AHA science meetings):

• Strong United States concentration: AHA is a U.S.-centered organization with broad national reach into research institutions, hospitals, and corporate labs.
• Major international representation: Cardiovascular bench science is globally relevant, so we typically expect international attendees via collaborations, visiting scientists, and global industry research sites.
• Research-hub clustering: Expect elevated density from states with strong academic/biotech ecosystems and research hospitals.

Best geographic targeting approach we recommend: We build buyer targeting based on where the decision-makers work (U.S. research institutions and companies with cardiovascular programs), and we optionally expand to global research-affiliated organizations depending on your target product’s footprint.

3️⃣ Audience Reach (Local / National / Global)

BCVS scientific content is designed for a national research audience with international scientific relevance. For buyer research, we classify expected reach as: National (primary) + Global (secondary).

• Local reach: Baltimore/Boston regional attendance is meaningful, but core value typically comes from nationwide participation.
• National reach: Very high relevance due to AHA’s reach across U.S. academic medicine, research hospitals, and corporate cardiovascular programs.
• Global reach: Scientific topics and reputation help attract international researchers and industry scientific stakeholders.
