A Record-Breaking Edition of the ESVS Annual Meeting
Congress by design delivered a recordbreaking event
We’re proud to share that Congress by design delivered a truly exceptional event in Istanbul for the ESVS Annual Meeting 2025. Bringing together 1,873 participants from 74 countries and 44 sponsors, this edition embodied our belief that when science connects, extraordinary things happen.
The European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) brings together specialists worldwide who are dedicated to the care and treatment of patients with vascular disease. Their Annual Meeting is the key moment where education and international collaboration converge and… when science connects. After previous editions in Rotterdam, Belfast and Kraków, we were once again appointed as core PCO in 2025, this time in Istanbul. In doing so, we continued the trajectory: from resilience, through optimisation and sustainability, towards a forward-looking, inclusive and boundary-crossing edition.
Preparations in Istanbul brought unique challenges: complex logistics, political uncertainty and high inflation. This demanded extra attention for participant safety and meticulous coordination of freight and congress materials for sponsors. Thanks to close cooperation with local partners and timely communication with all stakeholders, everything ran smoothly.
