Media Information

Media credentials, hotel accommodations, and more

The ACS Clinical Congress 2023 will feature many opportunities for media members to learn about the latest trends and research in surgery and healthcare.

This year’s conference will be a hybrid event (held onsite and virtually). Clinical Congress is one of the world’s largest educational meetings for surgeons, bringing together world-renowned experts in clinical practice, as well as leaders in surgical education, research, and technology.

Why Attend?

Clinical Congress is an opportunity to report on groundbreaking surgical research, connect with surgeon experts, and learn more about the latest trends in surgery. Hundreds of research-in-progress reports, including updates on late-breaking clinical trials, will be presented during the Scientific Forum sessions.

Media Credentials and Hotel Accommodations

Press registration will open this summer for both virtual and in-person attendees. Hotel accommodations can be reserved online.

Members of the media attending Clinical Congress onsite will be granted access to livestreamed lectures and select on-demand panel presentations, named lectures, icons in surgery video sessions, late-breaking scientific forum sessions, and special sessions within an hour after being presented. Requests to interview presenters and expert surgeons may be sent to pressinquiry@facs.org.

Virtual attendees will have access to both the livestreamed and on-demand content and may also email pressinquiry@facs.org to schedule interviews with surgeons. All attendees will maintain access until May 1, 2024, which is also the deadline for physician participants to claim AMA Category 1 Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits.

Additional information on press conferences and media events related to Clinical Congress will be shared closer to October.
