Overview
Due to the unpredictability of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Armed Forces Annual District Meeting, scheduled for October 10–12, 2021, will be virtual. The in-person meeting has been cancelled.
While we will miss the opportunity to gather together in person, the Scientific Program Committee and staff are working hard to take what has been learned from our many successful virtual programs over the last year and develop an excellent and engaging virtual program.
The program will integrate the meeting features you love into a virtual format. Our offerings include presentations on scholarly activity, plenary speakers, subspecialty and academic meetings, and service-specific breakout sessions. Attendees can also earn CME credits, take advantage of networking opportunities, and browse a virtual exhibit hall. We hope that you end each day with information you can implement immediately in your practice.
Please note, some military treatment facilities do not allow access to certain virtual platforms while on site, so be aware that you may need to access the meeting platform from a personal network.
We hope to "see" you there!
