The HRX AP Shark Tank is an electrifying competition where allied professionals present groundbreaking ideas that have the potential to revolutionize patient care and advance electrophysiology practice. This event provides a unique platform for APs to pitch their most innovative research concepts, workflow enhancements, or practice-changing solutions to a panel of expert “sharks.”

How It Works:
- Top 5 Finalists: Authors of the five top‐rated submissions will be invited to present their ideas in person at HRX 2025.
- Expert Mentorship: Finalists will receive mentorship prior to their presentation to refine their ideas and maximize their impact.
- Live Pitch Session: Finalists will pitch their ideas live at HRX 2025 to a panel “sharks” comprised of industry leaders and EP experts.
- Winner Recognition: The most compelling idea will be awarded top honors, gaining visibility and credibility within the AP and EP communities.
