What's New for ASRM 2026

ASRM is excited to officially kick off planning for the ASRM 2026 Scientific Congress & Expo! President-Elect Dr. Robert Brannigan has selected this year's theme: "Discovery, Innovation, & Advancement".

Based on your feedback, we're making meaningful updates to this year's solicitation process. These process changes will ensure dedicated programming based on focused solicitations ensuring your efforts are valued.

Some exciting changes include:

• Affiliated Societies will now be invited to propose three Interactive Sessions, each with a distinct focus: one theme-based, one hot-topic, and one wild card.
• Professional Groups will lead three Professional Perspectives (formerly Clinical Sessions), also aligned with the following categories: one theme-based, one hot-topic, and one wild card.
• Special Interest Groups (SIGs) will have the opportunity to propose their own sessions through SIG Segments - a dynamic new program created to spotlight SIG-led content.

Postgraduate and Hands-On Course proposal solicitations for 2026 will look different. STAY TUNED...

Thank you for your continued collaboration and commitment to ASRM’s mission.
