Communications Policies for Industry
Important Information for Public Relations Professionals
Below are the communications policies for New York Valves 2025, including how to handle embargoes and news releases, as well as suggested language for coverage of the event.
Media, investigators, organizations issuing press releases, and others with access to research accepted for presentation during New York Valves 2025 are required to abide by the embargo policies governing CRF® meetings.
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation® embargoes information presented as a late-breaking clinical trial, late-breaking clinical science, or featured clinical research. Coverage of these studies is strictly prohibited until the start time of each trial’s official presentation as listed in the New York Valves 2025 Program on the official New York Valves website. No journalist, exhibitor, or university (or affiliated organization or company) may disseminate information until the trial’s official presentation time. All embargo times are listed in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). There is no official embargo for research presented as an abstract, challenging case, or during an innovation session. However, to maximize the impact of your presentation we recommend that no data be shared until the start of New York Valves and ideally not before your formal presentation.
Organizations presenting research at New York Valves 2025 may not engage in embargoed media outreach, conduct embargoed interviews, or share embargoed presentation materials without prior approval from the CRF® Press Office.
