2023 Exhibit Information

Dear Exhibitors:
 
The 2023 annual meeting of the Association of Veterans Affairs Surgeons (AVAS) will be held in-person at the Edgewater Hotel on Sunday, April 23 through Tuesday,  April 25, 2023. 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 180 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.
 
The AVAS sincerely hopes that you will be able to attend this meeting. For information about pricing and other arrangements, please contact our AVAS Administrator Sue Lentz at vasurgeons@gmail.com.
