Register for July Quality and Safety Conference to Embrace Change, Celebrate 20 Years of Progress

Healthcare professionals dedicated to raising the bar on the quality of surgical care and patient safety are invited to attend the 2025 ACS Quality and Safety Conference, July 17–20 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California. Registration is now open.

The Quality and Safety Conference is a premier event for multidisciplinary and international collaboration, where healthcare professionals from around the world come together to share best practices, discuss challenges, and develop strategies to enhance surgical patient care.

Celebrating its 20th year, the theme of this year’s conference is Embracing Change and the Future of Quality; the sessions will reflect on the past, assess the present, and explore the future of surgical care, emphasizing the importance of adaptability, resilience, and quality improvement (QI) in surgery.

This year’s programming will foster meaningful dialogue, connecting experts from diverse backgrounds to exchange insights on achieving high-quality care. These discussions will feature emerging and trending topics such as the future of registry concepts, artificial intelligence, and measurement and reimbursement.

Attendees will also be able to engage with staff from the ACS Quality Programs, including the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program and Quality Verification Program, and learn how to meet and exceed standards.

Seven optional preconference workshops will provide hands-on experiences on a selection of relevant, focused topics (additional fees and registration required), including the QI Basics course, Learning from Failure in QI, and more.

In addition, the Welcome Reception and Abstract receptions will offer networking opportunities with colleagues and leaders in surgical QI.
