In his remarks during last week’s annual meeting, President Robert J. Lewandowski, MD, FSIR, unveiled our plans for a year-long celebration of SIR’s remarkable 50-year journey. We're thrilled to introduce an interactive timeline (https://brnw.ch/21wIoQx) that highlights some pivotal moments in IR and SIR history, including major innovations, organizational milestones, and the evolution of our specialty. And the best part? It's only the beginning! We have 30 milestones already, and we invite you to contribute your own memorable highlights as we shape this journey together. Our anniversary theme, “50 and Forward,” embodies our commitment to honoring our past while embracing the future. Stay tuned for special anniversary content as it unfolds. We had the privilege of speaking to numerous SIR leaders and members at the annual meeting, gathering invaluable moments and content to enhance our anniversary celebration. Our grand finale awaits you at next year's annual meeting in Nashville (#SIR25NASH)! Join us for an unforgettable celebration featuring engaging activities, fabulous giveaways and countless opportunities to express gratitude to those who've influenced our educational and professional journeys.

Sista, MD, FSIR has given over 140 talks and has been a part of over 80 publications.
