Exhibits, speakers, plenaries, hands-on sessions. Networking, dinner with friends, alumni receptions, the Capitol Steps comedy act. All this and much more is on tap during the 2016 Vascular Annual Meeting slated for June 8-11, just outside Washington, D.C. Plenaries and exhibits begin June 9. Registration is open throughout the conference.
Vascular surgeons, specialists, medical professionals in related fields, device manufacturers and others will meet at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, just minutes away from Washington, D.C.
Thanks to popular demand, each year the annual meeting -- often called VAM -- expands a little more on Wednesday and Saturday to accommodate more events and opportunities. This year Wednesday and Saturday are filled with events and sessions that attendees won’t want to miss. Workshops ($100 fee), international events and a full day of Vascular Quality Initiative sessions will be on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday feature more plenaries, talks by vascular luminaries, receptions, breakfast and evening events. On Saturday the annual SVS business meeting, the exhibit hall and credit-worthy plenaries will be good reasons to stay through the end.
A highlight this year will be a Friday June 10 evening performance by the Capitol Steps, a comedy troupe based in D.C. known for their cutting edge, political humor. It will be open to all attendees, exhibitors and their guests.
2016 VAM offers a variety of postgraduate courses on Wednesday designed for surgeons, physicians in related specialties, trainees, interventional radiologists, physician assistants and vascular nurses, researchers, allied health professionals and medical students. Postgraduate courses are complimentary for SVS members but separate registration is required.

A self-assessment exam is available on the meeting app and can be completed immediately following each session.
