It’s More than Taking in Sessions

While the ASCRS Annual Meeting is known for its education, the ASCRS experience extends well beyond sitting in session rooms.

The ASCRS experience is defined by the run-ins with colleagues, colleagues and mentors in the hallway between sessions, the meetings with industry representatives in the ASCRS Exhibit Hall, the drinks with friends—old and new—in the Tap Room, and the organized and impromptu breakfasts and dinners outside the convention space.

In addition, ASCRS will celebrate its 50th anniversary in full in Boston!

Join celebration and experience it all!

“Most importantly to me, this meeting offers the quintessential venue to network with colleagues in a planned and spontaneous fashion, which often leads to lasting and precious memories and experiences.” —Terry Kim, MD, ASCRS President 2020–2021
