The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) invites you to submit your ultrasound session proposals for the 2026 AIUM Annual Convention, being held May 27–30, 2026, in Philadelphia, PA.
Whether it's a topic you’re passionate about or an area you believe needs more attention or reflects current challenges, we want to hear from you. Your input helps the AIUM identify themes, plan relevant content, and ensure our program reflects your needs. We want to educate on emerging technologies and hold sessions that inspire innovation.
If you would like to submit multiple topic ideas, please complete a separate form for each submission. Each session should be designed to run up to 60 minutes.
You are welcome to submit more than one session, but each should be submitted separately as a stand-alone session.
The following session formats are available.
Didactic sessions offer a structured and formal teaching approach in which speakers play a central role in delivering content to the learners. The speaker presents the material in a lecture format, often using slides, images, or videos to support the verbal delivery. These sessions can also include an ultrasound demonstration and Q&A.
Specifics:
The gaming format is a learning session designed to engage participants, foster collaboration, and enhance information retention. Quiz-based games such as Kahoot, Jeopardy, and strategy games require learners to use critical thinking and decision-making skills to achieve objectives.
Specifics:
The panel format is typically used to explore issues from multiple perspectives, providing a richer understanding of the subject matter. The moderator poses a series of questions to the panelists, guiding the conversation and ensuring a balanced contribution from each panelist. The discussion is usually more informal and often structured around key themes or subtopics. We are not asking speakers to give individual presentations in this format.
Specifics:
Note: This session will require more coordination, including equipment procurements, proctors, models/simulations, etc.
These sessions provide an opportunity for attendees to develop and refine their ultrasound scanning skills through direct practice on volunteer models, actual patients with pathology, or simulation. All scanning sessions will be under guided supervision.
Specifics:
To simply submit only a topic idea for a session (not a full session proposal) complete the following fields:
No email submissions will be accepted.
Once you begin a submission, you CANNOT save your work and return.
Please note: The Annual Convention Committee (ACC) reserves the right to modify session titles and make changes to the list of presenters, including additions or removals, as deemed necessary for program consistency and balance.
You will receive an email with a copy of your submission. A successful submission ends with a confirmation email to the submitter. The AIUM is not responsible for notification emails not received due to incorrect contact information.
