WoCoVA 2026: An International Success Story Born of Collaboration Between IFES Members

Two members of the International Federation of Exhibition and Event Services (IFES) — Greece's Vision Ltd and Spain's 4foreverything — joined forces to create the setting for the 9th World Congress on Vascular Access (WoCoVA), held April 15-17, 2026 at the Valencia Conference Centre. The event gathered more than 1,330 participants from 59 countries and stood out for its firm commitment to sustainability and quality. For Vision Ltd it was the third consecutive WoCoVA edition, after Athens (2022) and Prague (2024). Success rested on 4foreverything's fully in-house production model — carpentry, printing and audiovisual services — and its local knowledge of the venue, allowing full control over quality and deadlines. As active members of the Better Stands initiative, both companies opted for reusable stands instead of single-use structures, balancing high-level design with a smaller environmental footprint. Behind the project lay more than a year of meticulous planning. Vision Ltd CEO Peter Theodorides and 4foreverything COO David de Dios, whose collaboration dates back to 2019, highlighted the value of cooperation between IFES members. The congress's next destination is Rotterdam 2028.
