We cordially invite you to participate in International Endovascular Symposium 2005 to be held at the Regent Four Seasons Hotel, Circular Quay, Sydney , Australia , on 8, 9 & 10 December 2005.

As in previous years, we are assembling an exceptional International and Australian Faculty, who will bring the latest information, experience and opinion to the program.

IES 2005 is designed to be of value and interest to vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, interventional cardiologists, angio suite and cath lab staff, vascular trainees, nurses, technologists, scientists, engineers, and all staff involved in the fields of endovascular and interventional techniques and management.

Our Principal Sponsor, Cook Australia, and Major Sponsors W L Gore and Medtronic, have once again provided us with very generous support, enabling us to produce another outstanding educational activity this year.

We urge you to participate in IES 2005, and invite you to submit an abstract for presentation at the conference, to participate in our interactive “virtual reality” live case demonstrations and panel discussions, and to enjoy the informal aspects of the conference and its social programme.

We look forward to seeing you at IES 2005 in Sydney this December.
