WELCOME TO VERSAILLES

On behalf of the European Venous Forum, the French Society of Phlebology and the National Academy of Surgery in France, we would like to invite you to the 26th Annual Meeting of the European Venous Forum, which will be held in Versailles, France from 25-27 June 2026 at the Versailles Palais des Congrès. We welcome European phlebologists and phlebologists from other international societies and continents. We hope that the 26th Annual EVF Meeting 2026 will be an excellent opportunity to both update  knowledge about  venous and lymphatic diseases, and to exchange personal experience between members of the international phlebological community.

The 26th EVF Annual Meeting Programme will be based on original research presentations, didactic sessions and industry sessions. The best abstracts will be selected for oral and poster presentations after a ‘blind’ abstract scoring process.

The didactic sessions will cover numerous topics, such as:

    • New developments in the management of VTE
    • Updates on practical phlebology and CVD
    • Research in the new field of regenerative biosurgery for veno-lymphatic chronic ulcers and wounds
    • The increasing demand for aesthetic phlebology
    • The AI development in phlebology including 3D echography, echotherapy devices, robotics and virtual reality
    • The EVF members participation for the adoption of the “new scientific phlebology” in poor countries worldwide and particularly in French speaking ones.

Join the experts in the Meet the Experts sessions held throughout the three days and the Joint Session of the EVF with the American Venous Forum (AVF).

Our main audience will be phlebologists, and anyone involved in phlebology, Surgeons, Vascular Surgeons, Vascular Medicine Specialists, Dermatologists, Interventional Radiologists, Aesthetic Phlebologists,  Medicine Physicians, cells and tissue biologist researchers and all others interested in the management of venous disease. We also invite residents from various specialty training programmes to increase their knowledge about venous and lymphatic disease. Versailles has good flight connections via both Paris airports and train connections. Accommodation has been reserved in local hotels near the venue.

On behalf of the European Venous Forum we warmly invite you to join us at our high-level venous meeting.

The 26th Annual Meeting of the European Venous Forum (EVF) will convene in Versailles, France, from June 25–27, 2026. This international academic assembly, held at the Versailles Palais des Congrès, focuses on the advancement of knowledge regarding venous and lymphatic diseases through original research and expert-led didactic sessions.

Scientific Agenda & Research Priorities

The 2026 program is structured around several critical pillars of modern phlebology:

  • Regenerative Biosurgery: Research into new methods for managing veno-lymphatic chronic ulcers and wounds.

  • Artificial Intelligence & Technology: Development of AI applications in phlebology, including 3D echography, robotics, and virtual reality.

  • VTE Management: Updated protocols and developments in the management of Venous Thromboembolism.

  • Aesthetic Phlebology: Academic analysis of the clinical demands and techniques in aesthetic venous treatment.

  • Global Standardization: A joint session with the American Venous Forum (AVF) to facilitate international knowledge exchange.

Methodology and Participation

The scientific quality of the meeting is maintained through a “blind” abstract scoring process for selecting oral and poster presentations. The curriculum is designed for a multidisciplinary audience, including vascular surgeons, medical specialists, interventional radiologists, and cell biologists.
