INVITATION 2023

Dear colleagues, dear friends
of the MUNICH VASCULAR CONFERENCE (MAC),

We are delighted to cordially invite you to the 12th MUNICH VASCULAR CONFERENCE (MAC), which will take place on December 7-8, 2023. Since the pandemic is over, we are more than happy that the 12th MAC will be organized again as a face-to-face symposium here in Munich at the University Hospital of the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

The 12th MAC will continue to be a platform of mutual exchange between vascular clinicians and colleagues from translational and basic vascular research. Both sides will again benefit from each other.

In 2019 we experienced a record participation of more than 600 attendees, who again highly appreciated the choice of topics, the outstanding quality of the presentations from an outstanding faculty and the ideal opportunity for discussions. Since the 11th MAC attracted far more than 1.000 online-participants, the 12th MAC will also include some streamed main sessions live from the main auditorium.

Please have a look at our website, where all main topics are listed. You can see that the 12th MAC will address the whole spectrum of vascular diseases. 

We very much look forward to welcoming you personally in December 2023. Munich is a lovely place especially in the weeks before Christmas. So, inviting your partner or your family for an extended weekend in Munich in early December 2023 might be a great idea!

More information will be available very soon at www.mac-conference.com.

Prof. Hans-Henning Eckstein,
on behalf of the organizing committee of the 12th MUNICH VASCULAR CONFERENCE (MAC).

The 12th MAC will be organized in close cooperation with
wikonect GmbH /Wiesbaden/Germany.
