Anti‐Harassment and Code of Conduct Policy

The North American Vascular Biology Organization is dedicated to providing a harassment‐free conference experience for everyone, regardless of race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin,
disability status, physical appearance, body size, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate for any conference venue. Conference participants violating these rules may be
sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.
Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

• Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion or other areas of intimidation
• Sexual images in public spaces
• Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following
• Harassing photography or recording
• Sustained disruption of talks or other events
• Inappropriate physical contact
• Unwelcome sexual attention
• Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, event organizers retain the right to take any actions to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.

Event organizers may take action to redress anything designed to, or with the clear impact of, disrupting the event or making the environment hostile for any participants. We expect participants to follow these rules at all event venues and event‐related social activities.

If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible to any NAVBO staff person. Harassment and other code of conduct violations reduce the value of our event for everyone. You can make a report either personally or anonymously.

Photography within sessions is STRICTLY PROHIBITED

You may not record, photograph or capture in anyway, slides projected on screens or posters on display.  

Abstract deadline is August 1 at 5:00pmET

Travel Awards - if you are a trainee (student, postdoc or equivalent) member of NAVBO or MCS you are eligible for a travel award if you are submitting an abstract.  Please be sure to respond to the additional questions in the submission form specifically for the travel award application. More information about NAVBO's Travel Awards can be found here - click the Travel Awards-VB2024 tab.  For information on trainee awards from The Microcirculatory Society click here.

Platform Sessions - each concurrent session will incorporate two to four abstracts.  If you would like to be considered for a short talk (ten-minute presentation with five-minute Q&A), please be sure to submit your abstract to one of the topics listed below under Oral Presentations.  You will be able to select a second choice if your abstract is appropriate for more than one session.  Abstracts not chosen for oral sessions will be programmed as posters.

Instructions -  clear instructions are included within the submission form.  You will be able to enter and edit your abstract as often as you wish, but you must complete and submit it by August 1, 2024 at 5:00pmET.  Your title should not be longer than 250 characters and the abstract has a 1,750 character limit (including spaces and punctuation).  Although you can copy and paste from Word, some of your formatting may be lost, so please review.  Our system will provide you with a preview of your abstract (as it will appear in the program app) - be sure to use it to check for accuracy.

The meeting organizers reserve the right to reject any abstract. Abstracts are expected to pertain to an aspect of vascular biology and be of at least graduate school level (undergraduate students are eligible to submit abstracts). 

Topics - 

Submit your abstract

Vascular Biology 2024 will feature several themes that are relevant to the vascular biology community: development and genetics, inflammation, malformations, matrix biology and bioengineering, mechanotransduction, microcirculation, and signaling. Join us in Monterey, CA.

Plan now to exhibit at this premiere event in the field of vascular biology. Meet with colleagues from around the world (on average 20-25% of our attendees are international)  and display your latest technology, supplies and equipment to professionals in the fields of vascular and cardiovascular biology.

Vascular Biology 2024 will provide in-depth, cross-disciplinary approaches to subject matter. This meeting brings together leading scientists in cell biology, signal transduction, microcirculation, neurobiology, developmental biology, immunology, cardiology, molecular biology, as well as pathology and physiology who have an underlying interest in vascular biology.  We expect 400 participants and approximately 200 abstracts.  Usually half of the attendees are senior investigators and about 25% are postdoctoral fellows.  The remainder of the attendees are a mix of graduate students and clinician-scientists.

We are joined this year by The Microcirculatory Society, whose focus will help to broaden the scope of our meeting program.

The meeting will feature prominent speakers, abstract presentations, poster presentations, round tables on Career Development and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and exhibits.

The research of our members covers the vast field of vascular biology with focus on angiogenesis, development, vascular disease, vascular regeneration, endothelial and smooth muscle cell biology, stem/progenitor cells, cell signaling, vascular remodeling in disease, bioengineering, vascular matrix biology, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension, endothelial-leukocyte interactions, vessel calcification, lymphatic biology – to name a few.
