ACS Innovation Summit

Shape the Future of Simulation, Technology, and Engineering

Don't miss the premier international event dedicated to surgical innovation. Building on the strengths of the ACS Surgical Simulation Summit and ACS Surgeons and Engineers Meeting, the Innovation Summit creates a collaborative cross-disciplinary forum to advance the future of surgery. Through cutting-edge research presentations and sessions, the Summit provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to explore emerging technologies and exchange perspectives with like-minded innovation-driven professionals.

Designed for those working at the intersection of surgery and innovation, the Summit welcomes surgeons and physicians; engineers and researchers; simulation educators, technicians; AEI directors and administrators; residents and students; entrepreneurs; and anyone developing, evaluating, implementing, or teaching new approaches to surgical care.
