Experience VAM Electronically: Mobile App and Planner

Two tools – the Vascular Annual Meeting Mobile App and the Meeting Itinerary Planner – will make VAM 2016 a user-friendly experience.

The App

The SVS Vascular Annual Meeting Mobile App puts the entire meeting at attendees’ fingertips. It includes:

• All meeting content, including abstracts, speakers, sessions and more

• A searchable format, letting people locate sessions, abstracts, room locations and more

• Interactivity: People may network with colleagues, share photos and rate programs, take notes and use the activity feed available for each session.

 New this year is a link that lets participants access the CME and MOC sites, to take credit exams after a session ends. It also includes links to claim credits.

Download the app here.

The Itinerary Planner

The Itinerary Planner is a web-based tool that includes all VAM details, such as full and daily schedules; links to authors, abstracts and speaker bios; special events; programming for fellows/residents/students; registration information, Vascular Live details and all other VAM info.

The detailed Users will be able to build personal schedules with their own “must-attend” events and sessions by bookmarking items of interest, plus:

• View session, faculty and exhibitor information in real time.

• Search for presentations by day, type, individual or keyword.

• Add in personal meetings or events.

• Export and email their calendar to share with others.

• Access the site via mobile and traditional platforms.

Please note that schedules and agendas created on the Itinerary Planner do NOT sync with the schedule in the Mobile App.

The 2016 Vascular Annual Meeting – Come early, stay late for invigorating sessions and a dash of fun

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.

This year’s events offer a maximum of 30.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ with 13.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ counted toward MOC part 2. Each of the seven plenary sessions has individual self-assessments. This year, claiming your credits is easier than ever. A self-assessment exam is available on the meeting app and can be completed immediately following each session.

Registration is open through the end of the event, and may be completed online at www.vsweb.org/RegisterVAM16. There are 10 different registration fees that vary by category. For example, active members pay $650; medical students, $300; non-members $845. In addition, there are still some seats left in the hands-on workshops offered on Wednesday, June 8. Topics include Carotid Stenting, IVC Filters: Techniques in Deployment and Recovery and much more. See all topics.

The conference location, Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, offers sweeping views of the Potomac River, Washington, D.C. and Old Town Alexandria. As the cornerstone of the new National Harbor project in Prince George’s County, Maryland, the resort includes an 18-story glass atrium overlooking the Potomac, three restaurants, including fine dining and casual, a rooftop lounge, express coffee outlet, unique shops, an indoor pool and a 20,000 square-foot spa and fitness center. The 300-acre site also features tree-lined promenades with shops and restaurants, two marinas, a Ferris wheel and much more. For a complete directory as well as an interactive map, please visit the Gaylord National Resort & Conference Center website.

The weather in Washington D.C. in early June averages a high of 83 and low of 65, Fahrenheit. Attire is business casual during the day and resort casual for hospitality events.

Members Attending VAM in for a “Capitol” Treat!

When in D.C., well, pay attention to politics! Especially in an election year ...

Attendees at the Vascular Annual Meeting will be treated to a political comedy show from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Friday, June 10. The “Capitol Steps” group will poke its traditional fun at politics, politicians and the world at large as it has since the Reagan administration.

The event is free and open to all registered attendees, guests and exhibitors.

The group mixes standup comedy with song parodies, exploring the hot topics of the day, from the Democratic debates to “Apple vs. the FBI” to “If There were No Rich Men” and “Kasich is the Hardest Rhyme.” With the conventions scheduled for later this year, who knows what the Capitol Steps will be talking about, come June?

Come and find out. And be prepared to laugh heartily.

Vascular Quality Initiative plans first annual meeting at 2016 VAM near Washington DC

Vascular surgeons, clinicians, data managers and quality personnel will find helpful techniques and useful information on using data at the first-ever, day-long meeting of the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) June 8, 2016 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, MD.

Dubbed “VQI@VAM” since it will be held during the larger, 2016 Vascular Annual Meeting (VAM) in the same location, the event will bring a day of programming aimed at helping attendees better understand the data registries and quality improvement skills that will help improve vascular care.

“The intent of VQI@VAM is to bring the physicians, quality officers and data managers together in a team environment where they can learn more about the use of VQI data to promote quality improvement, with practical tools that can be used in their own health system,” said Dr. Jack Cronenwett, VQI’s medical director.

Morning sessions will focus on information for data managers, including vascular anatomy, a review of data definitions, examples of case abstraction and how to produce and interpret reports. In the afternoon, sessions will feature topics such as case studies of successful vascular quality improvement projects and practical training on techniques.

During lunch, Dr. Englesbe, of the University of Michigan and associate director of the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative, will provide a keynote speech entitled, “From Registry Report to Bedside: Leveraging Your Quality Data.” This presentation will address challenges and opportunities in using registry data.

Registration is available through the Vascular Annual Meeting’s registration website. Registrants can sign up for both meetings or only VQI, for which there is a $100 fee. Select the box for “Postgraduate Courses, VQI Annual Meeting, and/or RPVI Exam Review Course.” You will see the rates on the next page. Select the “VQI Annual Meeting” box (ID-10) from the list of four options. You should see that the meeting fee of $100 has been added to your cart.

Morning sessions will focus on information for data managers, including vascular anatomy, a review of data definitions, examples of case abstraction and how to produce and interpret reports. In the afternoon, sessions will feature topics such as case studies of successful vascular quality improvement projects and practical training on techniques.

During lunch, Dr. Englesbe, of the University of Michigan and associate director of the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative, will provide a keynote speech entitled, “From Registry Report to Bedside: Leveraging Your Quality Data.” This presentation will address challenges and opportunities in using registry data.

Registration is available through the Vascular Annual Meeting’s registration website. Registrants can sign up for both meetings or only VQI, for which there is a $100 fee. Select the box for “Postgraduate Courses, VQI Annual Meeting, and/or RPVI Exam Review Course.” You will see the rates on the next page. Select the “VQI Annual Meeting” box (ID-10) from the list of four options. You should see that the meeting fee of $100 has been added to your cart.

VRIC is Just Around the Corner

The Vascular Research Initiatives Conference - VRIC - is less than three weeks away. The one-day conference, on May 4 in Nashville, focuses on translational research. This year’s theme is “Outside In: Paradigm Shifts in Vascular Disease.”

VRIC takes place the day before the American Heart Association’s Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology (ATVB) Scientific Sessions, and at the same venue in Nashville. VRIC is considered a key event for meeting and reconnecting with vascular research collaborators.
