It is a great pleasure and privilege to invite you again to the traditional ART Vienna conference on advanced retinal therapy in the year of 2022.
There is no doubt that innovation has continued it’s dynamic force supported by advanced technology leading to a substantial increase in knowledge, particularly in retina. Exchange of insight and expertise, clinical and scientific results and active initiatives are vital for bringing “codes to clinic” and quality to patients.
Our team has put together three major sessions with the topics
- Brave new world - Novel substances and novel insights
- Artificial Intelligence in the real-world
- Understanding diabetic retinopathy
- Geographic Atrophy: A novel role.
We have invited speakers that have excelled in moving the field towards new horizons.
For a lively exchange of ideas and a robust understanding of contents, face-to-face encounters are essential. This year’s conference can provide this most important inter-individual exchange again. Interactive discussion and debate, missed for so long, will be even strengthened by having panel discussions with participation of all speakers in small groups related to their comment topic.
With this spirit of moving the field of retina ahead in a collaborative and person-driven effort, we are very much looking forward to see and hear you on December 3rd, 2022.
