The 2027 Annual Convention & Conclave is set for September 18-21, 2027, in Orlando, FL.

AOCA Annual Convention & Conclave 2026 took place October 21–24.

It was held at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It was for physician anesthesiologists, residents, osteopathic medical students, and allied health professionals.

It was most worthwhile for osteopathic anesthesiologists and residents who need CME in their own specialty, since the program was built around patient safety and the meeting was run by the American Osteopathic College of Anesthesiologists. The co-location with OMED 2026 and a $200 OMED discount code for registrants added value for those wanting the wider osteopathic community, whereas allopathic anesthesiologists with no osteopathic ties would have found less that was specific to them.

Physicians at medical conventions usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or dresses, with a jacket for session rooms that run cold. The Las Vegas resort setting allowed for somewhat relaxed evening dress, and comfortable shoes helped in a large casino hotel.
