The American Vein & Lymphatic Society welcomes you to the cosmopolitan city of Chicago for the leading medical conference devoted to venous and lymphatic medicine in the United States! Gather with your peers from across the country to learn the latest science and best practices in venous and lymphatic medicine. Network with medical practitioners to broaden your perspective of venous and lymphatic medicine and improve your practice through an international exchange of ideas.
The AVLS 38th Annual Congress will convene October 10-13, 2024, at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk. In Chicago, four scientific sessions will run concurrently throughout the day discussing scientific abstracts, superficial and deep venous disease, lymphedema and lipedema, ultrasound and venous imaging, venous nursing, and more. But that's not all - as a special feature of this year's event, we're thrilled to coincide with the Chicago Marathon! Feel the pulse of the city as thousands take to the streets in a display of endurance and determination. Take advantage of this exciting atmosphere and let it inspire your own journey towards excellence in venous and lymphatic care.
The Exhibit Hall will provide dedicated time for attendees to interact with exhibitors. All in-person attendees will receive access to the recorded, on-demand content following the meeting. There will not be a livestream option for 2024.
Additionally, The American Vein & Lymphatic Society is pleased to collaborate with the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists (ACCWS) to conduct wound care education during the Annual Congress 2024. The sessions are included below:
