14th CENTRAL EUROPEAN
VASCULAR FORUM - CEVF
Warsaw, 22–23 October 2026
under the auspices of the International Union of Angiology
Dear colleagues and esteemed participants of the 14th Central European Vascular Forum - CEVF
It is a great pleasure and honor for us to invite you to the 14th Central European Vascular Forum (CEVF), which will be held as an in-person symposium on October 22–23, 2026, at Lazarski University in Warsaw. This will be a two-day scientific event, with the first day devoted entirely to venous diseases, and the second day focusing on diseases of the arteries, including the aorta.
Founded in 1997, the CEVF is recognized as one of the most important societies dedicated to vascular medicine, and undoubtedly the most significant in the Central European region. The CEVF continues to play a pioneering role in advancing the field of vascular medicine, including angiology, phlebology and endovascular surgery. With almost three decades of leadership, CEVF meetings have served as a stage for groundbreaking scientific debate, the introduction of innovative techniques, and the growth of an international community committed to improving vascular health. Building on the success of our previous 13 meetings, which brought together outstanding experts from around the world, this conference remains a premier event in the field of vascular medicine—promoting a dynamic exchange between clinicians and researchers from both translational and basic vascular science.
This year’s program will cover the full spectrum of vascular diseases, offering invaluable insights for clinicians and investigators alike. As a participant, you can expect world-class presentations from leading authorities on arterial and venous disorders, as well as cutting-edge developments in artificial intelligence and digital vascular medicine. Our core topics will include the latest advances and the optimization of medical management for all types of vascular patients.
Warsaw, with over seven hundred years of tradition, is one of the fastest-growing cities in Europe. Being a significant scientific and medical center, the city offers a wonderful atmosphere - an inspiring backdrop for professional exchange and collegial connection. We hope you decide to check it out for yourself and fall in love with its charms.
Details regarding the 14th CEVF program and specific session highlights will be announced here shortly. We encourage you to check back regularly as we continue to update this site with the latest news.
We look forward to see You in Warsaw in October 2026!
