Support Opportunities

Reach the leaders as well as those on the front lines — those who bring advancements in vascular medicine to those who need it most. We have developed new opportunities for collaboration with SVM this year — make them work for you!

Select one of the support packages or take home items or contact SVM headquarters to develop a package customized for your specific outreach objectives.

Per continuing education guidelines, supporters may not dictate the content or planning of any educational session.

Specific product logos are not allowed — depending on support opportunity, only company logos will be permitted.

SVM encourages industry support for various events and services associated with the annual meeting. Supporting a one-time event or activity at the SVM Annual Meeting is excellent exposure for your products and services. Use the SVM meeting to heighten awareness of your products and services among professionals in the vascular medicine field.

All opportunities are open to multiple supporters.

Meeting supporters receive one complimentary registration to the annual meeting for every $2,500 of support. All supporters will be acknowledged in the final program and through appropriate signs and announcements during the SVM 2009 Annual Meeting.
