After continuing to monitor the current trajectory and impact of COVID-19 in the US and Canada, as well as the likely aftermath for our members in the months to follow the peak wave, the SVS Executive Board has made the decision that it is impossible to move forward with holding VAM 2020 in Toronto.

The health and safety of SVS members and constituents, and the patients for whom they provide care, has been, and remains, our # 1 concern. Understanding the needs of our members and stakeholders, and supporting them to meet this challenge, is the # 1 priority of the Society.

Therefore, VAM 2020 as a live event is formally canceled.

Just as we are all forging ahead taking care of patients, and providing vital service to our communities, the SVS is forging ahead with its central mission to advance excellence and innovation in vascular health through education, advocacy, research and public awareness. SVS is very excited to announce that the Program Committee and SVS Postgraduate Education Committee have crafted a compelling series of programs built from the best science and education from VAM 2020 and the Society will deliver this to you via interactive online forums over the summer months. Stay tuned for details regarding the SVS ONLINE (Optimizing Novel Learning in A New Environment) programs and keep connected with the SVS community!
