  Following the success at PVRI 2025 in Rio, we are thrilled to bring to you the PVRI Career Catalyst Luncheon, a speed mentoring event offering micro-mentoring opportunities to early-career PH professionals and trainees. The event will facilitate networking and connection-building between early-career PH professionals and trainees and provide opportunities to connect with multiple established and globally renowned PH researchers in a less formal setting. Tickets are free for this function.
   
• Saturday 31 January - Women in PH Luncheon
  For the third year running, we are absolutely delighted to bring the Women in PH Luncheon to you once again. Recognising the challenges women often face, it was originally established to support educational opportunities for women in PH and to strengthen their professional networks, aiming to build an inclusive and diverse community. Our mission is to unite and amplify women's voices to reinforce their collective interests. The event celebrates women, but men are welcome to attend as well. Tickets are free for this function.
