ABOUT THE EVENT When East meets West knowledge knows no bounds.
Dear Colleagues,
After the last seven successful editions of East Meets West Congress, an event that has been nationally and internationally appreciated, we look forward to be part of East Meets West 2025, the eighth prestigious medical conference organized for Central and Eastern Europe, fully endorsed by the ISEVS – the International Society for Endovascular Specialists from the USA, in partnership with the Romanian Society of Endovascular Surgery.
EMW2025 will be held in Bucharest, 17&18 October 2025, at Crowne Plaza Conference Center.
We invite you to take part at this special event, the only one that brings together all heart specialists at the same table.
Why should you attend the EMW2025 Congress?
Because the idea of the event itself started from the desire to create a different framework for our colleagues in Romania, a framework that puts the Romanian heart specialists in front of the world leaders in the field. They will share their knowledge and opinions, as well their professional secrets. And we assure you they are not just a few. Global techniques and technologies will be presented by our partners – the vast majority being important companies in America and Europe. Certainly, all the presented information at the event will help you treat your patients successfully.
EMW2025 will also encourage the creative exchange of ideas and learning experiences for everyone. Registered participants will have the opportunity to relate directly to faculty members. Also, exhibitors in medical industry will present new insights into the field and talk about new technologies. We also promise you that the East Meets West 2025 Congress will be a unique event for us, for Romania, thanks to distinguished speakers who will honor us with their presence – faculty members from the International Society for Endovascular Specialists from the USA and Europe who have agreed to be with us and to support us in our common approach – excellence in treating cardiovascular disease.
We all face daily challenges and difficult situations in our professional life. EMW2025 aims to come to the aid of those who are eager to learn, who are aiming for an international successful career. Knowledge has no borders and the opportunity to meet us in an open, neutral environment, regardless of nationality and professional level, should not be missed!
We are waiting for you at EMW 2025!

Bucharest, Romania
Bucharest is the capital and largest city in Romania and was first mentioned in documents from September 20, 1459. In addition to being an administrative and economic center, it is also the starting point for tourist destinations in Romania. French influences in culture and architecture brought Bucharest the name “Little Paris”.
