Second Emirates Vascular Surgery Society (EVSS) Regional Conference

Second Emirates Vascular Surgery Society (EVSS) Regional Conference is organized by Lumina Organizers, Emirates Vascular Surgery Society (EVSS) and will be held from May 03 - 05, 2024 at InterContinental Dubai - Festival City, an IHG Hotel, Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Description:
Building on the success of the first edition of the EVSS regional conference  where over 600 attendees, the Second EVSS Regional Conference encompasses the latest in arterial and venous topics while provides the hottest topics in vascular surgery that are to be presented for the first time in the region. This year’s focus is on controversies in vascular surgery, lymphatics, vascular trauma, diabetic foot, carotid and much more exciting topics.

The conference provides education by world renowned speakers from Europe and North America with leading vascular surgeons from all corners of the region. Education will be emitted through the forms of presidential talks, state-of-the-art and science plenary sessions, parallel sessions, scientific workshops and through the contribution of the scientific community in free communication sessions. The Second EVSS Regional Conference is set to become one of the largest vascular surgery meetings in the region by attracting an expected audience of 600-800 delegates coming from all over the world.
