February 1, 2008 is the Abstracts Deadline for SVU’s 2008 Annual Conference

In 2008, SVU will hold its fifth joint annual meeting in a row with the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and three other ultrasound societies. The 2008 Vascular Annual Meeting, including an extensive exhibition, will take place June 5-8, 2008 in San Diego at the San Diego Convention Center.

The SVU 2008 Annual Conference Program Committee and Abstracts Subcommittee invite you to submit an original abstract for either an oral and poster presentation at SVU’s 2008 Annual Conference, June 5-7, 2008, in San Diego. Abstracts are due to SVU by February 1, 2008. Accepted Manuscripts are due to SVU by April 4, 2008; no exceptions! Only accepted abstracts that meet the abstract and manuscript deadlines will be considered for 2008 SVU Scientific Awards presented in San Diego next June. Don’t miss this outstanding opportunity to contribute to the vascular profession and be recognized before your peers and co-workers at one of the largest meetings of vascular ultrasound professionals.

As an added bonus, if your abstract is submitted to the SVU national office by the February 1, 2008 deadline and is accepted by the Abstracts Subcommittee for an oral presentation in San Diego, you will receive a $100 discount off the SVU 2008 Annual Conference registration fee. Check out the SVU website at http://www.svunet.org/events/annual/index.htm for the 2008 Call for Papers brochure with the applicable rules and guidelines. Don’t delay -- submit your abstract now for consideration for the 2008 SVU Annual Conference in San Diego.

Vascular ultrasound students also are urged to submit a poster presentation abstract for award consideration by the February 1, 2008 abstracts deadline.
