Dear Colleagues

With the symposium now in its 7th year VERVE

and LINC Australia are together committed to

vascular education of the highest standard.

From the beginning our goal has been to bring

together a multidisciplinary group of vascular

specialists from around the globe to engage

in a truly exciting, and uniquely Australian,

educational format.

The three-day Symposium focuses on the

latest advances and techniques in vascular

and endovascular intervention. Our program

is made up of quick-fire, practical content,

debates, case presentation, live cases and plenty

of discussion by experts-in-the-field.

Our mission is to become the premier educator

in the field of vascular disease prevention and

cure, by maintaining scientific integrity, promoting

research and advancing the field, with a spirit of

collegiality and inclusion.

We openly welcome medical specialists from all

disciplines, trainees, nurses, sonographers and

researchers working in the vascular field. Please join

us in Sydney this summer to witness what makes the

VERVE Symposium such a unique and progressive

scientific congress.

Our friends from Leipzig will return once again to

underline our strong collaborative partnership and

ensure that the LINC philosophy is brought to our

shores with seamless professionalism. Their presence

at the meeting brings with it a world-class quality,

and their endovascular skills are truly something that

needs to be seen to be believed.

I look forward to seeing you in December in Sydney

for this year’s instalment of the high-definition VERVE

Symposium.
