“UIPeople”

Why we ALL are Buenos Aires 2025

Why we ALL are UIP

“We ALL are Buenos Aires 2025” is the line chosen for this historical event and it is a clear statement related to one of the main values promoted by the International Union of Phlebology (UIP)

Inclusiveness

In Buenos Aires, the meeting doors of The World Society dedicated to Phlebology and Lymphology will be fully open to ALL the healthcare professionals dedicated to vein lymphatic practice..and not “only”. Indeed, the event is designed to offer the unique chance of a bird-eye view on ALL the evidence-based met and unmet needs in the field, together with the opportunity to reach out to related sectors, inside and outside the healthcare professional world. Since last years, the actions UIP has been taking focus on enhancing the scientific quality and the educational opportunities, while providing advocacy and veinlymphatic awareness for both the colleagues and patients around the globe.

These are also the “pillars” of the 2025 World Congress, a “house” where all the attendees can feel comfortable in expressing their contribution, as long as moral and appropriate. It’s our deepest pleasure to notice how this call to action has been already so well received by so many colleagues from all continents. The only way in which we can really accomplish the UIP mission of properly representing the Vein and Lymphatic world is by pro-actively co-working all together, following the highest Ethics and Expertise.

Last but not least, I’d like to profoundly thank the Latam hosting team: the top quality of the initiative is guaranteed by the more than significant experience of the Latin America Organizers, who have been repeatedly showcasing international educational events of top technical quality, enriched by the deepest and most pleasant humane touch. A special care has been put in lowering the registration fee in order to make the Congress accessible to all. 

This decision goes with many other opportunities of global engagement that will occur at Buenos Aires 2025 World Congress: the meeting will represent literally an “event” in UIP history considering that, in order to accomplish the UIP mission according to its deepest values of quality, inclusiveness and ethics, it will be the first World Congress managed directly by the UIP, in collaboration with the hosting societies.

Looking forward to welcoming ALL the ones promoting professional, personal, scientific and moral appropriateness, I remain at full disposal of ALL “U.I.P.eople” and of ALL the ones who will like to get involved with the Phlebology & Lymphology World
