STA Annual Meeting 2027

The meeting is held at The W Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The organizer's award information identifies early-career anesthesiologists, trainees, and early-career faculty.

It is most useful for anesthesiologists and trainees interested in technology in perioperative care, since the society runs the meeting and supports early-career members with a travel award. Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, Global Chief Medical Officer at Aidoc, is a listed speaker, which points to a focus on health technology and AI. Clinicians who want broad general anesthesia updates would get less, since the society's focus is technology and innovation rather than the full clinical curriculum.

Clinicians at society meetings in resort hotels usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or sundresses and blazers. Scottsdale in January is mild by day and cool at night, so a light layer helps.
