Dear Colleagues and Friends,

With pleasant memories from Los Angeles, I warmly welcome you to the combined ISVCA and Chauvet Workshop 2025 meeting in Helsinki, Finland, from June 27th to June 29th, 2025.

The meeting will take place in the heart of Helsinki in Pikku-Finlandia congress center, adjacent to Finlandia Hall, which will host the 30th congress of the Federation of European Socities for the Surgery of the Hand (FESSH) from June 25th to June 28th. On Saturday 28th of June, there will be a joint session with FESSH focused on hand transplantation.

The program will cover many aspects of VCA, including all clinical VCA’s as well as latest scientific work. This multidisciplinary meeting will explore new topics related to VCA such as dentistry, as well as provide sessions dedicated to laryngeal transplantation. We will kick off the congress on Friday, June 27th , with the Chauvet workshop.

The meeting coincides with the Finland's season of the midnight sun, when daylight extends through the night. Helsinki is a charming, walkable city situated on a peninsula, offering a perfect setting to connect with colleagues from our specialized field of medicine.

I look forward to seeing you here in Helsinki, Finland, the happiest country in the world for the last seven years.

 

Yours,

Patrik Lassus

ISVCA 2025, President-elect
Scientific Program Committee Chair
Chair of the Local Organizing Committee
