The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) announces its 2026 Annual Convention, May 27-30 in Philadelphia

Registration opens today with a significantly reduced rate for those in training and a tighter, more focused program

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) today announced that The Ultrasound Event 2026, its annual convention and the world's premier gathering of ultrasound clinicians, sonographers, radiologists, scientists, ultrasound students, and industry professionals, will be held May 27–30, 2026, at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown. A preliminary program is available and the hotel block is now open. Registration opens today, including a new, substantially lower rate for the next generation of ultrasound users and researchers to encourage educators and mentors to bring those in training, like students, residents, and fellows.

A smaller, sharper meeting, built for focused learning and networking.

This year's format features a more focused program designed to maximize practical takeaways and peer exchange. Attendees will experience new preconvention courses, refreshed hands-on scanning learning labs, and a curated schedule that concentrates on the most consequential clinical advances and real-world applications across ultrasound specialties.

"We're excited to bring the AIUM's annual conference to Philadelphia, home to the nation's first hospital and a birthplace of American medical innovation," said Steven R. Meyers, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of the AIUM. "Recognizing the value this event brings to the ultrasound community, the AIUM Board of Governors has enabled us to keep registration rates unchanged from last year. Most importantly, we have introduced a significantly reduced rate for students, residents, and fellows to support the next generation of leaders in ultrasound medicine and science. With a more focused program, new pre-courses, and reimagined hands-on scanning opportunities, The Ultrasound Event 2026 is the best place to learn from and connect with the innovators shaping ultrasound's future."
