National Sales Meeting – Welcome Message

Structural Heart Nation –

I look forward to welcoming you to our 2021 national sales meeting. While the format of the meeting will be different than in years past, the content will be engaging and critical to our future success. In addition to our focused sessions, we will also take some time to reflect on how we managed to advance in the face of unprecedented challenges and adversity, as well as make sure to carve out plenty of time for fun.

Placing 2020 in the rearview, we can look forward to a year during which we will launch not only new technologies, but also entire new modalities. We will accelerate our march toward becoming the largest and most respected structural heart organization and we will do it together – one nation, indivisible.

Thank you for your continued commitment to excellence. I very much look forward to seeing you soon.

Best regards,
