Registration is now open for the CanVECTOR 2023 Annual Conference (View the CanVECTOR Program or below ) on Thursday, October 26th, 2023 at the Palais des congrès de Montreal, QC at Vascular 2023 (October 25-29, 2023) - an event designed to connect our broad vascular community, under one roof.
CanVECTOR joins five other host organizations (the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, Canadian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Diabète Quebec, Diabetes Canada, and Thrombosis Canada) at Vascular 2023 to bring together separate conferences in this world-class, five-day event to address challenges in the treatment and care of vascular-related diseases that affect millions of Canadians annually.
Delegates will have their choice of scientific sessions on topics such as atherosclerosis, dementia (vascular cognitive impairment), Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, endocrine diseases, metabolic disease, heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, vascular kidney disease, venous thromboembolism, and stroke.
On Friday, October 27th, we will come together for a full day of vascular programming to foster cross-collaboration in research, education, networking and learning. Together, we will promote the many benefits of a truly connected Canadian vascular community.
