March 2024
From April 17 to 19, edition number 8 of the WoCoVA congress (World Congress on Vascular Access) will be held in Prague.
This congress, organized by GloVANet, is an important event for companies and professionals in the field who want to learn about news and trends related to the world of vascular access.
Numantec Group will be present at WoCoVA 2024. Let’s see, below, more details about the event and the program.
WoCoVA 2024: news and trends on vascular accesses
Since 2010, the WocoVA congress has been organized every two years and has quickly become a benchmark for those working in the field of vascular access.
The multidisciplinary and multi-professional event is not only a great networking opportunity on a global level, but also a chance to learn new best practices, learn how the world of vascular accesses is evolving, and get in touch with the latest products and solutions.
As anticipated, this year the event will be held in Prague (specifically, at the Prague Congress Centre). The previous 7 editions, however, were held in:
Amsterdam (both in 2010 and 2012);
Berlin (2014);
Lisbon (2016);
Copenhagen (2018);
Athens (2022; the 2020 edition was not organized due to Covid, and was held only online, in 2021).
WoCoVA 2024 will see the participation of recognized specialists in the field of vascular access, but not only. It will be a must-attend event for several reasons:
- > delve into all the different aspects of vascular access;
- > networking with industry leaders from around the world;
- > meet manufacturers/distributors and their latest product innovations;
- > attend practical product demonstrations;
- > shape the future of vascular access.
The program of the 8th WoCoVA congress
The 8th WoCoVA will be held on the 2nd floor of the Prague Congress Centre (the dedicated entrance will be number 5).
