CSRS Annual Meeting 2026

The meeting takes place at Austin Marriott Downtown in Austin, Texas.

The organizer describes an audience of approximately 600 people.

The audience includes orthopedic and neurosurgical physicians, residents, fellows, allied health professionals, medical students, engineers, and industry partners.

It is most useful for orthopedic and neurosurgical physicians, fellows and residents focused on the cervical spine, since the meeting draws about 600 attendees and pairs the 31st Instructional Course with the 54th Annual Meeting. Engineers and industry partners also attend, which helps device developers, but clinicians outside spine care would find the content too narrow.

Physicians at medical society meetings usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or blouses, with suits or jackets for presenters and any evening functions. Austin in December is mild, though meeting rooms are often cold, so a layer is useful.
