Mark your calendars! The 2025 ACS Quality and Safety Conference will be held Thursday, July 17–Sunday, July 20 in San Diego, CA.

We can’t wait to welcome attendees to “America’s Finest City” for the very special 20th anniversary of the conference! This year’s conference planning chair will be none other than Dr. Bruce Lee Hall, MD, PhD, MBA, Chief Clinical Officer for UC Davis Health. With stimulating and informative plenaries, participants will have ample opportunities to meet experts face-to-face and enjoy spontaneous networking.

Keep an eye out for a call for abstracts in the coming months so you can have a chance to share your work with surgical leaders.
