Dear Members and Colleagues:
On behalf of the Executive Council of the Midwestern Vascular Surgical Society it is my pleasure to invite you to Madison, Wisconsin for Midwestern Vascular 2008, the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Society that will be held from September 11-13, 2008.
We are thrilled that the Society’s meeting is returning to Madison this year. Madison hosts an extraordinary venue for this meeting. The Hilton Hotel adjacent to the Monona Terrace – a Frank Lloyd Wright Convention Center, provides intimate accommodations, as well as a panoramic vista of Lake Monona and downtown Madison. September is a wonderful time to be in our city. Good weather, great restaurants, and the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning are just a few of the local attractions.
The meeting will continue to offer interesting content from previous gatherings of our society. The New Horizons in Endovascular Surgery Course will once again be integrated into the main scientific program and the Society will continue with the Rapid Fire Sessions introduced last year. In addition to the plenary session, there will be a competitive poster competition that will be held during the Welcome Reception in the Exhibit Hall on Thursday evening. A prize will be awarded for the best poster presented. Again this year, the Society will be given away an exciting prize to a lucky physician who visits the most exhibits.
Our social program includes a Special Reception on Thursday evening that will be held on the rooftop of the Monona Terrace Convention Center overlooking beautiful Lake Monona .
I look forward to seeing all of you in Madison in September. Any questions about the meeting or accommodations, call me at 608-265-4420 or Terri Comegys at the Society’s Offices at 978-745-8331.
We look forward to welcoming you to Madison.
Sincerely,
William D. Turnipseed, MD
Chairman, 2008 Local Arrangements
