Registration is Open for the ACS Surgical Simulation Summit

The ACS will host the 17^th Annual Surgical Simulation Summit on Thursday, March 14 and Friday, March 15, 2024, at the Swissôtel in downtown Chicago, Illinois. A dynamic program awaits you with access to innovative technologies, discussion of ground-breaking simulation research, and unparalleled networking opportunities with leaders in the field. We are so excited to welcome attendees back to Chicago for live and in-person learning!

A keynote address, scientific paper presentations, posters, and hands-on workshops will be featured in 2024. New, more interactive, and practical sessions are also being planned for the meeting that should be relevant to all our attendees, regardless of your professional role.

The Management, Operations, Research and Education (MORE) Track will be offered concurrently to the paper sessions, allowing you to choose whichever session is more relevant to your interests. Finally, we will be bringing back the collaborative session with the American Society of Anesthesiologists to explore how to use simulation to address quality improvement at your institution.

We heard your feedback on how you would appreciate more social opportunities throughout the meeting to foster those important relationships within our community. In addition to the networking reception on Thursday, we are pleased to offer attendees the opportunity to register for a Chicago Pizza Tour that kicks off after the reception. Space is limited, so we encourage you to register for this special event early! We also hope you will start Friday morning off strong by joining us for yoga. More details will be provided during the registration process.

Registration opened at the beginning of December. There will be more news to come on the 2024 Summit, so stay tuned and save this date on your calendars! Our website will continue to be updated as meeting details are announced.
