Dear all,

For the 82nd edition of its international congress, the SFP welcomes you back to the Cité Internationale Universitaire in Paris, an emblematic place for both the acquisition and transfer of knowledge, 2 core values of our academic society.

This year, the SFP is delighted to welcome Dr Karol Chakkour who will be President of the congress.

For this new edition, we will experience an innovative format that will allow us to breathe new life into our practices: controversy. Without controversy, there is no debate, no advance, no exchange, no progress. The controversy will be opposed to the guidelines and a consensus theme resulting from this debate will conclude our congress.

With this format, our speakers will spark their practice and shed light from different angles to provide the richest insight to the practitioners attending these debates. It is the promise of fascinating discussions and rich interventions on hot topics in phlebology.

And always the workshops, the Union news, the VWin Foundation international session, the young vascular doctors and the Michel Perrin session.

We are delighted to see many of you with the same enthusiasm, the same human warmth and hope that your desire to continue learning will be satisfied by the high quality of the speakers, interventions, and workshops as always in a welcoming atmosphere.

Wishing a successful and fruitful congress to all,

Nicolas Neaume
SFP President
