History 

The Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society traces its origin to an informal meeting in the early 80's where current topics of interest were discussed that applied exclusively to pediatric patients with arrhythmias. From this began an annual meeting to discuss and collaborate on the care and treatment of infants, children and young adults with arrhythmias. Collaborative research projects have also been fostered by society members and have become one of the focal points of the organization. Subsequently the Society became incorporated in the state of Michigan as a tax exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) in 1991.
