What VEITHsymposium does

VEITHsymposium, operated by VEITHsymposium LLC, is a privately held medical education event business founded in the early 1970s and now in its 53rd year. It produces the annual VEITHsymposium, a 5-day in-person conference held each November at the New York Hilton Midtown that brings together vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and vascular medicine specialists for rapid-fire 5-6 minute presentations on advances in vascular and endovascular disease treatment. The symposium attracts approximately 5,000 attendees and 600+ faculty from around the world, delivering over 1,300 presentations across 100+ sessions, including specialized component programs such as the VEITH Venous Program, Pulmonary Embolism Program, Hemodialysis Access Program, AIMsymposium, Multidisciplinary Stroke Prevention Program, LATAM Program, and Fellows Career Development Program. The CME-accredited content (AMA PRA Category 1 Credits, ANCC Contact Hours, ABS Continuous Certification) is sponsored through the Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing Education.

The underlying platform consists of the live annual event supplemented by a year-round On-Demand Library (veithondemand.com) that archives all talks, slides, and panel discussions indexed by topic and presenter, plus a periodic webinar program that includes university visits, society presentations, and the annual Innovation in Vascular Surgery & Endovascular Therapies Award. An Associate Faculty Podium Presentations Program recruits and showcases younger vascular specialists, creating a talent pipeline into the symposium's faculty ranks.

VEITHsymposium monetizes through tiered attendee registration fees ranging from complimentary (US/Canadian vascular surgery fellows funded by a W.L. Gore & Associates educational grant) to $1,449 for practicing physicians, with intermediate tiers for non-US fellows/residents ($729), allied health professionals ($979), medical students ($529), and component meeting attendees ($349). A second material revenue stream comes from medical device and pharmaceutical company exhibitor booths, industry-sponsored non-CME events (such as Point-Counterpoint sessions), and educational grants supporting trainee attendance. The organization is led by Symposium Chairman Frank J. Veith, MD (with Co-Chairmen Enrico Ascher, MD; Kenneth Ouriel, MD, MBA; and Sean P. Lyden, MD) and managed day-to-day by Managing Director Jackie Simpson and an 11-50 person staff, with formal succession planning in place to ensure continuity beyond the founder's tenure.
