April 22, 2025, All Day
Location: 700 Aliceanna Street | Marriott Baltimore Waterfront, Baltimore, MD
Sponsored by: Society for Vascular Surgery®
A separate registration fee is required to attend
The Vascular Research Initiatives Conference (VRIC) emphasizes the exchange of basic and translational vascular science that stimulates thoughtful discussion and motivates participants to discover solutions to important problems affecting vascular patients. The VRIC brings together vascular surgeons, vascular biologists, physicians with an interest in vascular problems, vascular surgery trainees and research trainees in vascular surgery and vascular biology.
The VRIC, presented by Society for Vascular Surgery® (SVS), is a one-day session preceding Vascular Discovery: From Genes to Medicine Scientific Sessions, also held at the Marriott Baltimore Waterfront. The SVS has teamed up with AHA to offer these two exclusive meetings in the same location and timeframe to help save attendees on travel costs; however, please note the VRIC and Vascular Discovery are two separate conferences with separate registration fees.
