OVERVIEW

Hello fellow vascular access professionals.  I can’t say enough about how excited I am to be joining with all of you in Minneapolis, Minnesota this year for AVA’s 2022 annual scientific meeting.  The D-Team (Design team) is hard at work planning and evaluating topics for the meeting - and from the looks of it we are going to be having some awesome speakers and topics.  These include learning with subjects from pre-insertion, insertion, after care thru home care (including adults to neonates) with many well-known experts in the field of vascular access - and brand-new future leaders in our specialty. 

After two years of learning in the form of virtual (due to Covid restrictions) we now have the potential to meet face to face/mask to mask.  Those that have attended before in real time know the rich experience and recharge of our vascular access batteries by meeting face-to-face.  Experiencing a 30/60-minute breakout session with your peers, general session, perusing the poster presentations or exploring the newest products in the form of our Exhibit Hall - where you can talk with a live person (and see the newest technologies and medical equipment) you will find an amazing experience.  Another great opportunity that we all find with the face-to-face meetings is the opportunity to network with each other and put faces to the names we see on various social media group pages every day.  Networking is a key component to the experience at AVA’s scientific meeting and you should fully take advantage.  Many of the current experts are there and extremely approachable to meet and talk.  All I can say is you will be hooked after your first meeting.
