EVM-US has been around for 10 years.
It's Europe's time. Introducing EVM-EU
VENOUS EDUCATION IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

Welcome to the Expert Venous Management (EVM) family. Over the last 10 years some of you have been part of our original EVM meetings which up until this year were held in person at Englewood Hospital NJ USA. This year on June 5&6 EVM US was all virtual and interactive, EVM VI. It exceeded our expectations. Attendees and industry thought it was a fun, thoughtful, interactive learning experience. 3 hours each day. We’ve decided to have our inaugural European version October 2&3 2020 from 1600 – 1900 GMT (London time). Faculty will have a European preponderance along with our usual suspects from the US. It is an interactive meeting. Attendee input is crucial. This is why we need you.

A little history. EVM was conceived by Steve Elias, Tony Gasparis and Nicos Labropoulos 10 years ago. The meeting was developed to fill a void in venous education. Many vein specialists already understood vein disease and had heard enough didactic lectures. They needed more. EVM is a totally case-based meeting presented by the world’s experts. Difficult cases, controversial cases, cases that went well, cases that didn’t go well and cases that no one knows what to do.

The meeting allows attendees to ask questions in real time. Attendees can raise their hand or submit questions. Faculty can be interrupted at any time. Many questions are posed during case presentations for immediate attendee feedback. You can see the meeting agenda as well. The meeting is FREE as it is totally supported by industry for your benefit. We hope to see you there. Let your friends know. We will have fun.

Here are some details:

Dates: October 2 & 3
Dedicated Zoom account - virtual meeting.
Each day will be 3 hours: 4:00- 7:00 PM GMT, to account for the time differences in the US and possibly Europe.
Our faculty will present 1-2 cases each (see Program Section).
Each attendee will able to ask questions and comment real-time. And get answers. Live polling of the audience will also occur during the meeting. The usual discussion and respectful, lively debate will continue.
The informal format: No jackets, no ties, no attitude still holds.

WHAT PAST ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT EVM:

"I have been to many vein meetings including New York Venous Symposium, International Vein Congress, but the discussions at
this meeting made this a personal favorite of mine. I plan to be back next year."
-RA

"I thought the discussions were great and you had a really interesting mix of participants with surgeons, IR, and particularly the vascular medicine guy."

"Great content and definitely a meeting that offers what others do not. I would bet that everyone there learned things they did not know
which is rare for most meetings."
-WM

"It offers a contrast to the normal meetings we are all used to attending which is an extremely nice change. The relationship with industry is very
important and we appreciate the time & effort."
