AAES 2027 Annual Meeting

We can’t wait to welcome you to Sacramento, California for the 2027 AAES Annual Meeting, May 22-24! The theme of this year’s meeting is “Built on Belonging”— reflecting the AAES’s central role as a professional home for our members and our commitment to cultivating a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone in endocrine surgery. The meeting will take place in the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, conveniently located in the heart of downtown Sacramento, one block from the beautiful California State Capitol Park – the perfect location to enjoy the fresh air, relax, and network. Hotel rooms are reserved at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento just across the street.

We’ll kick off the meeting with a Welcome Reception on Friday, May 21 at a local venue in Sacramento. This event is open to all attendees—come reconnect with colleagues, meet new friends, and help us launch the meeting in style.

In keeping with our focus on connection and belonging, we will continue with shortened scientific presentations that create more opportunities for meaningful discussion and audience engagement. The highly rated breakout sessions will also continue featuring immersive, expert-led content, designed to spark dialogue and collaboration among attendees. 

Highlights for 2027 include:

  • A refreshed Opening Session allowing us to jump right in.
  • Open lunch time on Saturday with no educational sessions. Get out and explore Sacramento!
  • Podium and poster competition awards will be announced on Monday, May 24 ensuring all eligible presenters receive recognition.
  • A dynamic Poster Spotlight session showcasing top posters.
  • Expanded clinically oriented panels and educational sessions, shaped by member feedback.
  • Small group interactive breakout sessions offering deeper dives into specialized topics (small fee required).

Sponsors will be on-site to showcase cutting-edge technologies that are transforming endocrine surgery. These exhibits offer a great opportunity to connect with industry leaders and explore innovations that can enhance your practice.

The AAES Annual Meeting is dedicated to advancing the science and art of endocrine surgery through knowledge exchange, collaboration, and community. The 2027 meeting promises innovative programming, networking opportunities, and scholarly enrichment, all centered on fostering a thriving endocrine surgery community.

As California's capital city, Sacramento offers a rich blend of history, culture, and innovation that makes it the perfect setting for our annual meeting. Known as "America's Farm-to-Fork Capital," Sacramento sits at the heart of one of the world's most productive agricultural regions, and that legacy shows up on every menu in town, where local, seasonal ingredients take center stage. Whether you’re enjoying a world-class meal with friends, exploring Old Sacramento's cobblestone streets and Gold Rush-era buildings, or jogging around the State Capitol’s beautifully manicured grounds, you'll find Sacramento to be a place that balances big-city amenities with genuine, small-town warmth.

We encourage you to arrive early or extend your stay and use Sacramento as a launching point for exploring Northern California. Wine country in Napa and Amador counties are an hour’s drive from downtown Sacramento, and a scenic 90-minute drive can take you to Lake Tahoe's alpine beauty. From scenic beaches to towering redwood forests, dew-laden vineyards, and snowcapped mountains, Northern California has something for everyone!

We look forward to seeing you in Sacramento!
