i-MEET 2016 took place on June 2 & 3 in Nice, at the Radisson Blu Hotel, on the French Riviera. 
				  
				Over the 2 day meeting, our wide-ranging, interactive program included the whole range of endovascular techniques and procedures with particular focus on Femoropopliteal, Ambulatory management and BTK disease, thoracic aortic dissection, EVAR challenges and carotid stenosis. Two sessions were also dedicated to venous diseases and thrombectomy. Thanks to the animators, the speakers and moderators were interacting with the audience, providing more discussions and exchanges than ever. 
				  
				i-MEET 2016 « next generation » is a new congress format based on interactivity dedicated to the current endovascular hot topics. It focuses on teaching and sharing and is a pioneer in the Live education.
