Don't miss your chance to establish yourself as a global leader in vascular and interventional neurology, elevating your status as a distinguished international leader in stroke and endovascular treatment. Note that this is your final opportunity to be considered as a session speaker for SVIN's 2023 Annual Meeting. 

At this year's annual meeting, you will have two chances to receive an award for your submission:

• Best Scientific Award: Given for the outstanding scientific abstract submitted by a member of the society.
• Young Investigator Award: Given for the outstanding abstract submitted by a student, resident, fellow or early career attending (five years or less out of fellowship) of the society.

Please review the following information before submitting an abstract.
