SNIS 12th Annual Meeting - Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery

Registration Brochure
SNIS 12th Annual Meeting
July 27-30, 2015
Hilton San Francisco Union Square
San Francisco, California
Welcome!
Greetings SNIS Members and Friends!
As summer approaches, we hope you are already making your plans to join us at the SNIS 12th Annual Meeting in
San Francisco, California from July 27-30.
The City by the Bay will play host to SNIS for the first time this year and one only has to glance at the conference
agenda to appreciate the outstanding work of the leaders of this year’s event. Indeed, the program committee has
anchored this year’s Annual Meeting in rich content spanning clinical, practice and industry topical areas; the most
innovative studies in neurointervention today; discussion sessions that add extra salt to the ongoing dialogue;
networking opportunities that connect individuals in meaningful ways; and, of course, those coveted moments of
rest and relaxation that provide just the perfect balance to a schedule that is packed to the gills.
We’ll kick off the week with a session block dedicated to the biggest news in our field today — the positive stroke
trials that have been released over the past few months. We then dive into sessions on technological advances in
stroke care, neurocritical care of cerebrovascular disease (in conjunction with our colleagues at the Neurocritical Care
Society), AVMs and aneurysms. As we bask in the advances we have made this year, we will also take a moment to
look back and celebrate 25 years of the GDC coil — a device that arguably helped create this specialty that we work
in today. Additionally we’ll spotlight the annual Luminary Lecture, this year provided by Thomas Masaryk, MD of
the Cleveland Clinic. And, finally, we’ll listen in on abstract sessions that will dot our program agenda throughout
the week with the most interesting and promising research coming out of neurointerventional centers of excellence
worldwide.
All SNIS activities require the contributions, resources and enthusiasm of many to keep the wind in our sails, but the
effort behind the planning and hosting of the SNIS Annual Meeting truly necessitates an all hands on deck approach.
For their enduring presence and partnership mentality, we pay special tribute to our loyal industry friends whose
passion for our work is boundless and support of our cause makes so much possible. And we thank you as well.
As a most valued member of the collective neurointerventional community, your ideas and work on behalf of our
specialty continue to advance the highest standards of excellence and keep our field at high tide amidst an everevolving healthcare landscape. Thank you for your contributions day in and day out, and in advance, for your support
of the SNIS 12th Annual Meeting.
See you in San Francisco!
Sincerely,
Shazam Hussain, MD

attraction is often overlooked, but is the perfect activity for
kids. The Zoo is just steps from the Pacific Ocean on the western side of the city. Here you can see tigers, penguins and
gorillas as well as a few rare animals such as a snow leopard, a
black rhinoceros and two polar bears.
5.See the cables in action at the Cable Car Museum. This is a free
museum in San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood. While it
covers the history of the cable cars, the most interesting things
for kids is the large wheels pulling the cables.
6.Cruise around San Francisco Bay. The San Francisco Bay
Cruise is a 60-minute trip around the bay. On this tour, you will
ride under the Golden Gate Bridge, past Alcatraz Island and get
some great views of the San Francisco skyline.

the Tree House Toddler Exploration Zone and the Creativity
& Discovery Hand in Hand area. Entrance to the museum is
free.
10. Ride the Cable Cars. Once you visit the Cable Car
Museum to learn more about how they run, it’s fun
to hop aboard for a ride around the city. The Powell/
Hyde line runs from Union Square to the western
side of Fisherman’s Wharf. It has some of the best
views in addition to an amazing ride down one of the
steepest streets in the city.
11. The 7D experience is actually two activities in one.
The first activity is the Dark Ride, which is part theater, part
video game, and a whole lot of fun. After you strap into your seat,
you will be taken on the ride of your life as your seat moves to the
action. You use your laser gun to get rid of the bad guys and
score points along the way.
12.Walk among some of the tallest trees in the world at Muir
Woods. It’s amazing seeing the true size of these Coastal Redwood trees. It’s also the perfect place for kids. You can stroll in

longer hike in the woods.
13.Hike the Coastal Trail. This trails starts in the San Francisco
Presidio and takes you all the way to Ocean Beach. You can
8
start or end anywhere along the way. It’s one of the best places
to get amazing shots of the Golden Gate Bridge and the beautiful waterfront below.
14.Explore the Children’s Creativity Museum. This is a hands-on
adventure for kids of all ages. Their animation studio allows

through the Mirror Maze. You can even go on
a 7-D experience that includes a roller coaster
type ride that moves in sync with the activities
on the large, movie screen in front of you.
16.See a classic Disney movie at the Disney Museum. Every day
of the week (except Tuesdays), the Walt Disney Museum shows
a classic Disney movie in their Fantasia Theater. These films
range from Bambi to Mary Poppins. Although the schedule
varies slightly, you will usually find at least one show in the
morning and a couple showings in the afternoon. Tickets are
free with admission into the museum.
17.Ride a paddle boat on Stow Lake. For those that love the
outdoors, another fun activity is to take a paddle boat ride on
Stow Lake. This man-made lake is in the heart of Golden Gate
Park. It is just steps from other popular attractions such as the
California Academy of Sciences and de Young Museum.
18.Go on an urban scavenger hunt with City Clues Adventures.
Keep your kids guessing with City Clues Adventure’s Urban

journey, you will make your way through popular San Francisco
neighborhoods including North Beach, Chinatown and Fisherman’s Wharf. Each hunt includes a guide to ensure you don’t
get lost along the way!
19.Search for whales on a Whale Watching Tour. All year long,
different species of whales migrate through the water of
the Pacific Ocean near San Francisco. Between June and
November, you get the chance to see blue and humpback
whales. On these whale watching adventures, you will also
get to the chance to see other animals such as dolphins, large
turtles and sea birds.
20.Have fun on a combined Land & Sea Tour. Are you interested
in a unique tour of San Francisco and the Bay? The popular
Duck Boat Tours allow you to visit both the land and the sea
on one tour. Your journey starts with a ride
around the historic neighborhoods in
San Francisco. You will then splash into
the San Francisco Bay and take a ride
around McCovey Cove near AT&T
Park. This 90-minute tour is one you
and your kids will never forget!
