Exhibitors and Sponsors

Dear Colleague:

The EVS is excited about its 23rd Annual Meeting which will be held September 24-26, 2009, at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel.

As you know, the Eastern Vascular Society is the largest regional vascular society in the US with over 500 members who are vascular surgeons representing both major academic medical centers and community hospitals in the Eastern part of the US and Canada. One of our major goals this year is to try to be a more industry friendly society and give the exhibitors more exposure to the surgeons of the Eastern Vascular Society.

This year's meeting will feature:

Endovascular Session to include topics in Thoracic aortic pathology; Management of endoleaks after endovascular aneurysm exclusion; Current role of stents and covered stents in treatment of infrainguinal occlusive disease; and Subintimal angioplasty as primary therapy for infrainguinal occlusive disease. Other topics include chronic mesenteric ischemia – endovascular treatment as the preferred therapy and Branched and fenestrated endografts.
Vascular Lab Interpretation Course covering arterial diagnosis; Financial and Administrative Aspects for the Vascular Lab and Screening Programs and Venous Diagnosis and Duplex Guided Procedures.
Issue Program on Changing Practice Patterns in Vascular Surgery: Outpatient Procedure
Phenomenon

The fee for exhibiting will remain at $2,500 for a table-top display. The Society is also offering companies an
opportunity to participate as educational sponsors at the Gold level for $7,500 and Silver level for $5,000. To abide by ACCME guidelines, these fees do not include the exhibit fees.

Please review the Exhibitor Prospectus and Educational Grant Opportunities Brochure carefully and return your
application as soon as possible as space is limited.

We understand that your support is instrumental in keeping the society active and relevant to the vascular specialists
in the Eastern Vascular Society.

I look forward to welcoming you and your company to Philadelphia next September for a very exciting meeting!

Sincerely yours,

Keith Calligaro, MD
President
