ACOI Annual Convention & Scientific Sessions 2026

The 2026 convention is at Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, California.

The stated audience includes osteopathic internal medicine physicians, subspecialists, students, and residents or fellows.

The organizer describes the gathering as drawing hundreds of current and aspiring osteopathic internists and subspecialists.

MD-trained internists or other specialties will get less from the osteopathic focus, and the meeting is small, with hundreds of attendees, so it offers fewer vendor or cross-specialty contacts than a large national medical meeting.

Physicians at medical society conventions usually wear business casual for sessions, such as slacks and collared shirts or blouses, and dress up a little for evening events. A desert resort in Indian Wells in October is warm by day and cooler at night, so light clothing with a layer works, and OMT hands-on sessions may call for comfortable clothes.
