AED Programs in 2026 - From Do We Need Them?” to Can We Trust They’ll Work?

Join the Conversation With Industry Experts On April 15th at 1:00 p.m. ET

Utility and high-risk organizations span a wide spectrum when it comes to AED programs—from no deployment at all to thousands of devices across fleets and crews. This webinar explores how AED programs have evolved, why traditional approaches often fall short in modern utility environments, and what safety leaders should consider to ensure real-world readiness rather than assumed protection.

Learning Objectives:

  • Why having AEDs does not automatically mean being prepared
  • Why traditional inspection and oversight models struggle in the field
  • Common gaps in both new and long-standing AED programs
  • How AED program expectations have changed with mobile and field-based workforces
  • Practical considerations for building or modernizing a program without increasing administrative burden

    Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of what effective AED readiness looks like today and how to evaluate, build, or improve a program based on operational reality—not assumptions.

    This is a must-attend event for operations managers, utility leaders, and anyone involved in disaster response planning. We encourage you to forward this webinar to the relevant executive and training stakeholders on your team.

    Time will be dedicated at the end of the discussion to answer live audience questions.

    Attendance worth 1 contact hour for certification/CUSP maintenance.

    Mark Peters, Vice President of Sales at Avive Solutions, is leading a knowledgeable, customer-focused sales team while steadfastly promoting the mission to save more lives through greater AED accessibility. With extensive experience in the AED, medical device, and public safety sectors, Peters has a proven track record of building high-performing sales teams and driving strategic growth. His personal journey with Sudden Cardiac Arrest—having lost a close friend in 2000 and surviving his own episode in 2009—has fueled his dedication to increasing the availability of lifesaving devices nationwide.

    Rory Beyer, Moseley Andrews, and Sameer Jafri came together with a seemingly simple idea—that anyone can and should be able to positively impact the outcome of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) rescue. Driven by their complementary skills and background, they met at a conference focused on SCA prevention and quickly came together to share a vision for the profound impact that a more effective solution could have on thousands of families every year. With Rory and Moseley’s technical expertise and a novel AED concept they had developed at MIT, combined with Sameer’s experience in SCA prevention through his non-profit organization Saving Hearts Foundation, the three co-founded Avive in 2017.
