Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the 28th SOBRICE Congress, which will take place from October 15 to 17, 2025, in São Paulo, Brazil. SOBRICE – the Brazilian Society of Interventional Radiology and Endovascular Surgery – is pleased to invite you to this event, which promises to be a milestone in our journey, reflecting our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in the field, while never losing sight of our primary and most important focus: patient care.
This year, the Centro de Convenções Rebouças will once again become the epicenter for Interventional Radiologists, Endovascular Surgeons, and Neurointerventionists. With five simultaneous session rooms, a new and larger mini-meeting, and the innovative Training Village, the congress reaffirms its position as the largest event of the specialty in Latin America. One of the major highlights this year will be The Arena, an immersive experience that will allow participants to engage directly with speakers, explore new technologies and techniques, and interact in a dynamic, collaborative environment. Multidisciplinarity will remain a central pillar, reflecting the integration of interventional radiology with other medical specialties and technological fields.
Our comprehensive program will cover a wide range of topics, from interventional oncology to embolizations and endovascular surgeries, including percutaneous procedures and neurovascular treatments such as stroke management. A special highlight will be the segment dedicated to the future of interventional radiology, where we will explore emerging trends and innovations shaping our specialty, with a particular focus on technological advances and artificial intelligence, offering valuable insights into how these tools can transform our practice.
We are also introducing a new structure for scientific abstracts, featuring specific subcategories and awards to recognize each type of contribution. This initiative aims to value everyone who contributes to the advancement of our specialty, acknowledging the importance of each study and innovation that enriches our field.
The congress will also serve as an excellent opportunity to strengthen professional networks, fostering the exchange of valuable experiences and knowledge among professionals in a more informal setting, and encouraging long-lasting partnerships. This exchange will be key to our collective growth and continuous improvement of our professional practice.
To ensure a broad and cutting-edge approach, we will have six specialized committees bringing the most advanced global perspectives to each topic. Collaboration with renowned societies such as CIRSE, SIR, SIDI, SIO, and SPIR will further enrich our congress, promoting international knowledge and experience exchange.
Mark your calendars and get ready for a unique and transformative experience, both scientifically and personally, as we share ideas and strengthen bonds. We look forward to welcoming you and advancing together at the forefront of knowledge and practice in Interventional Radiology and Endovascular Surgery.
Warm regards,
Guilherme Lopes Pinheiro Martins
