Event One

“Connecting the Lines”

It all begins with an idea !!! While it is a clever pun, your Conference Committee really want to emphasize the connectedness of healthcare in Manitoba through all disciplines involved in vascular access.

It has been many years since our last CVAA Conference in Winnipeg and we want to revive that vascular access spark we once had. Join us this year on Friday, October 17th, 2025 at Canad Inns Destination Centre Polo Park, 1405 St Matthews Ave in Winnipeg and learn from the best that Manitoba has to offer.

We changed our name from CVAA Winnipeg to CVAA Manitoba because vascular access professionals, like yourselves, live all over our beautiful province and we want to see you all attending.

As a Conference Committee, we believe sharing personal experiences/cases draws audiences into conversation and discussion that straight factually information sharing sometimes cannot do. Our days events below will outline this.

Our 3 main speakers throughout the day:

1. Dr. Gregory Harding – Port Insertion

2. TBA

3. Dr. John Embil-Case Studies-TBA

Breakout Session (45 minutes per session) x 2:

1. Vessel preservation in the Renal Population

2. Blood draws

3. Infection Control

4. Ultrasound Guided PIV’s

5. Vessel preservation, choosing the right device.

6. CCMB Oncology Perspective, topic TBD .

Each presentation will run twice – Once before lunch, once after lunch for 30 minutes.

Oh did not mention….FREE LUNCH included with attendance.
