Milwaukee, WI — [DATE] — Forj, the modern platform uniting learning, community, and data for associations, today announced a new partnership with the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the global leader in science, education, and advocacy for professionals dedicated to heart rhythm disorders.
After evaluating multiple technology pathways—including enhancing its existing platform and exploring a potential build strategy—the Heart Rhythm Society selected Forj as the only partner that could move beyond the constraints of its current solution and fully align with its long-term vision for advancing professional education, collaboration, and innovation within the electrophysiology community.
Founded in 1979, the Heart Rhythm Society represents more than 9,000 professionals worldwide dedicated to improving the care of patients with heart rhythm disorders.

“Heart Rhythm Society is making a bold investment in the future of how their members learn, connect, and grow,” said Kurt Heikkinen, CEO of Forj. “Our partnership will showcase the power of a unified experience and how it advances HRS’ mission, expands its impact and better serves its members. We are honored and excited to partner with such a forward-looking and innovative organization.”
Journey by Forj brings learning and community together in one integrated experience because learning alone is no longer enough. The platform enables associations to deliver personalized learning pathways, facilitate meaningful professional collaboration, and uncover insights that guide future education and member engagement strategies.
“We needed a partner who could help us move beyond fragmented experiences and deliver something more connected, more intuitive, and built for the future,” said Stephen Sye, VP of Information Technology at Heart Rhythm Society. “Forj brings together learning and community in a way that aligns with where we’re going and gives us the foundation to better serve our members at every stage of their journey.”
By bringing learning and professional collaboration into a single experience, HRS will create a more dynamic environment where members can exchange ideas, access critical educational resources, and stay connected to the latest research and clinical advancements.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment between HRS and Forj to empower the professionals driving progress in cardiovascular care and to accelerate the exchange of knowledge that improves patient outcomes worldwide.
