Early Bird Deadline is October 16, 2026
Five mornings. National faculty. A year’s worth of CME.
Join anesthesiologists from around the globe for a week of sun, sand, and CME! Learn the latest evidence-based education and updates from national experts in obstetric, ambulatory, pediatric, and regional anesthesia. Plus, practical POCUS skills and a clear look at how AI is reshaping perioperative decision-making. Sessions end by 12:15 PM. Afternoons are yours to explore, relax, and recharge. Faculty integrate live audience polling and real-world case discussions that include practical insights you can apply on your next shift and share with your team. Your registration comes with a full hot breakfast and mid morning refreshments each day. And new this year: a family reception for attendees and their guests on Tuesday evening 1/19. Register today!
