An Evening of Intrigue, Connection, and Discovery

Step into the world of espionage for one of the most anticipated events of ACVNU–IRIS Renal Week 2027. The Nephrology Exchange promises an unforgettable evening of international connection, immersive entertainment, and spectacular views at the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC.

The evening begins with an exclusive cocktail reception inside the museum’s fascinating Camouflage Exhibit. Explore the remarkable history of camouflage, deception, and espionage while enjoying cocktails and conversation with colleagues from around the world.

Guests will then move to the museum’s rooftop terrace overlooking the nation’s capital for an energetic evening of networking, featured entertainment, drinks, and delicious small bites. Designed to be celebratory, interactive, and distinctly memorable, The Nephrology Exchange offers the perfect setting to reconnect with longtime colleagues, make new connections, and enjoy a truly unique Washington, DC experience.

This is far more than a traditional conference reception—it is an evening of intrigue, discovery, and shared experiences you will be talking about long after Renal Week concludes. Don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
