Only 1 week remains to submit an abstract for the 2026 ACS Surgeons and Engineers: A Dialogue on Surgical Simulation meeting.

View the submission guidelines and additional information.

The meeting will take place March 10–11 at ACS Headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, and bring together professionals from across academia, the simulation industry, and the military. In addition to abstract presentations, this meeting will feature keynote presentations, panel discussions, a DIY competition, debates, and optional half-day premeeting workshops.
