Dear Exhibitors:
 
The 2026 annual meeting of the Association of Veterans Affairs Surgeons (AVAS) will be held in-person at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, CA on Sunday, April 26 through Tuesday,  April 28, 2025. We are looking forward to seeing our industry partners again in person and continue connecting.

This meeting is attended by general, oncologic, peripheral vascular, endovascular, thoracic, cardiac, wound care, and critical care surgeons as well as anesthesia providers from VA hospitals throughout the United States.  Many university-based surgeons, surgery residents, and medical students from programs with VA affiliations typically attend this meeting. We anticipate approximately 200 surgeons and 20 exhibitors will attend.

Why Exhibit?

This annual meeting will provide opportunities to connect with surgeons and promote your company brand to industry leaders, develop collaborative partnerships,  network with VA surgeons throughout the country, and many more.
