The SVN 44th Annual Conference will once again, be filled with exceptional education led by experts in the vascular field. Join us in Boston, MA, June 10-11, 2026, to experience 2 days filled with networking events, educational offerings,
the latest research in vascular nursing and so much more.
"Joining the SVN has opened doors for me and allowed me to explore and expand my role as a vascular NP in a welcoming, encouraging, and fun way. I have gotten to meet and get to know so many experts in the field through SVN. Everyone
is open to teaching and to learning- the SVN has elevated my practice and inspired me!"
Karen Bauer, DNP, APRN, FNP, CWS, DAPWCA
"My mentor Patty Bozeman told me; you have to go to this meeting you will get so much out of it! Well 32 years later, I am still going to the meeting and an active member of SVN. The reason is simple, SVN meetings and the lifelong
friends (members) I have met has enabled me to LOVE absolutely what I do! Thank you to the original founding members, you have created an amazing professional society!”
Kristen Hallisey, RN, BSN, CVN
“I joined as a novice bedside nurse, only expecting to glean knowledge of the vascular patient. There was that and so much more. SVN gives the ability to network with national nursing leaders, provides expert content and encourages
individual professional growth. I never thought I would lecture on a national stage, be a part of a Board of Directors, or add to vascular education and research. It is so much more than a society; it is a network of friends with
a shared passion.”
Kristen Alix, MS, ANP-BC, AGACNP-BC, CVN
