It is with regret that, after careful consideration, the Local Organizing Committee in accordance with the Executive Committee of the Society, have decided to postpone the 69th Annual Congress ESCVS to September 2020 in recognition to the growing health risks related to the spread of the COVID-19 in Italy and worldwide.
These new dates allow the Congress to maintain the same city and congress center.
In addition, with travel restrictions elsewhere affecting attendance in both delegates and faculty, we feel that we could not guarantee the high scientific quality of the Congress on the original dates that we are striving for.
We are aware of the inconveniences that such a postponement may cause; nevertheless, we had no choice but to guarantee the wellbeing of all people involved in this event.
All engagements with the Organizing Secretariat related to this Congress and all existing registrations are automatically shifted to the new Congress dates.
We anticipate that the scientific program will be largely unchanged and we kindly advise all those who have already finalized their travel arrangements to update their tickets to the new date as soon as possible.
We hope that we can rely on your commitment and flexibility and we are confident that with your support ESCVS 2020 will be possible.
We look forward to welcoming you in Padua in September!
Thank you for your cooperation and attention.
Best regards,
