VAM 2027, the Society for Vascular Surgery Annual Meeting, will take place from 2 June 2027 to 5 June 2027 in San Diego, United States. The event pulls together voices from across the discipline — on stage, in the audience and in the conversations between. The annual format gives organisers time to raise the bar with every return. The chosen home is San Diego Convention Center, where generous floor space and good transport links do half the work.

Part of what makes VAM 2027 worth the trip is San Diego itself — a city that knows how to put on an event and give visitors something to remember. San Diego is well connected by air and supported by an extensive local transport network, so travelling in from abroad or elsewhere in the United States is rarely a hassle. From polished chain hotels to independent boutiques, San Diego has a bed for every budget and taste.

Talks trace a path through Health Care, Vascular Surgery, Vascular Medicine and Blood Vessels, pairing hard data with the kind of insight you only get in the room. There is plenty for everyone, from headline talks to intimate workshop spaces. From organised meetups to spontaneous conversations, the room is built for making connections. Organising duties fall to Society for Vascular Surgery, and their experience shows in how effortlessly it all comes off.

It is as much about the conversations in the hallways as the sessions on stage. For seasoned professionals and first-time attendees alike who like to stay a step ahead, VAM 2027 is time well spent.

First-timers in particular benefit from a quick look at the floor plan or agenda beforehand, so no key session slips by.
