51st Annual Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine Meeting - Live Stream

Join our live stream of the main meeting sessions from the 51st Annual Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine Meeting April 16-18, 2026!

 Main meeting sessions schedule

This year’s theme, “Redefining the Role and Value of Regional Anesthesia,” invites us to confront the contradictions, complexities, and possibilities that define our field today. 

Our plenary session topics were selected to prompt discussion and challenge some currently held beliefs. We invite three guest surgeons (an orthopedic trauma surgeon, a sports surgeon, and a peripheral nerve surgeon) to bring us their insights. We bring international faculty from Europe and Asia to introduce us to a different perspective on acute pain management. We welcome Patrick Tighe, MD, MS, with his passion for AI innovation, quality and patient safety, and research as a special speaker.

We provide 6 Ask the Experts panels for you to interact with experts on challenging clinical topics. Our extremely popular parallel PBLD sessions will once again be offered, with over 40 topics to choose from in a more relaxed setting.

We craft our 51st Annual Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine Meeting with three goals in mind:

1. To explore the potential and define the limits of different regional anesthesia techniques
2. To provide the audience access to faculty who are at the forefront of the science, education, and leadership in our subspecialty, and
3. To focus on value-added care that emphasizes analgesic effectiveness.
