This year, AVASM26 brings together one of the most diverse and dynamic speaker lineups in vascular accessโ€”clinicians, researchers, educators, innovators, and system leaders all in one place.

These arenโ€™t just presentations.
Theyโ€™re perspectives shaping the future of the field.

Across AVASM26, youโ€™ll hear voices leading critical conversations on:
โ€ข Health disparities and clinician workforce experience
โ€ข Large-scale national data on vascular access outcomes
โ€ข Standardizing terminology and clinical decision-making
โ€ข Immersive simulation and next-generation education
โ€ข Patient-centered vascular access innovations
โ€ข Implementation science driving system-wide change

What makes this lineup powerful isnโ€™t just what is being discussedโ€”itโ€™s who is doing the discussing. Each speaker brings a unique lens from the bedside, the lab, the classroom, and the health system.
