Leadership & Advocacy Summit

Keynote Speaker Is Announced for Leadership & Advocacy Summit

February 13, 2024

Registration is open for the 2024 ACS Leadership & Advocacy Summit, which will be held April 13–16, at the Westin Washington, DC Downtown Hotel. The Summit offers comprehensive and specialized sessions to provide ACS members, leaders, and advocates with topics focused on effective surgeon leadership, as well as interactive advocacy training and coordinated in-person visits at congressional offices.

Leadership Summit

The Leadership Summit includes 2 days of programming covering an in-depth exploration of leadership principles. Prior to the Summit, optional sessions on Saturday feature new topics on risk management, communications, and challenges in practice management. On Sunday, the traditional programming begins, with compelling speakers addressing key themes in surgical leadership. During the Leadership Summit, attendees will learn new and innovative ways to face challenges and enhance their leadership skills, both in and out of the operating room.

The Leadership Summit is a hybrid event with in-person and virtual registration options open to all ACS members and non-members. In-person attendees will experience the onsite program and receive access to livestreamed and on-demand recordings. Virtual attendees will have access to the livestreamed and on-demand content.

Check out a detailed agenda for the Leadership Summit.

Advocacy Summit

The Advocacy Summit will be an in-person event with some recorded sessions. There will be no virtual option to view the Advocacy Summit. Congressional meetings will also be in person. The Advocacy Summit is open only to ACS members in the US since the content is not applicable to international members.

The Advocacy Summit will provide an update on policy priorities that the College is advocating for with federal lawmakers. This year’s Keynote Speaker will be Anna Palmer, co-founder and CEO of Punchbowl News and a former reporter for Politico.

In addition, advocacy training and scheduled congressional visits will be provided as part of the event.
