Single Ventricle Investigator Meeting 2026

Get ready! The Single Ventricle Investigator Meeting — the premier, multidisciplinary convening focused exclusively on accelerating progress in single ventricle heart disease — is back in 2026.

The energy SVIM brings to the single ventricle community stems from you: the scientists, engineers, clinicians, advocates, and partners in this work who continue to see yourselves in our mission to cure single ventricle heart disease.

Whether you’ve been a faithful participant since 2021, or it’s your first time attending, we look forward to you joining us for an insightful 3-day experience.

WHO Should Attend?

SVIM is a space for any and everyone (Additional Ventures-funded or not!) working to unravel the complexities of single ventricle heart disease. SVIM is the conference for you if you are:

• An engineer or technologist developing tools, models, or therapies for single ventricle physiology
• A clinician or clinical researcher focused on patient care and outcomes, and research that positively transforms patient care
• A basic scientist investigating cardiac development, cellular pathways, or genetic underpinnings

• An industry expert advancing novel interventions or diagnostics
• A trainee or early-career investigator eager to contribute to this rapidly evolving field
• An established investigator with a track record of research that has benefitted or could benefit the single ventricle population

No matter how your work relates to revolutionizing treatment and care in single ventricle heart disease, you belong here.
 

"This is one of the best conferences I’ve ever been to! The caliber of science is next level…”
