Vagus Nerve Society Business of Pain Medicine 2026

It was held at Fontainebleau Miami Beach in Miami Beach, FL.

Pain medicine physicians and advanced practice providers were the intended attendees.

It was most worth it for pain physicians and advanced practice providers who wanted the business and technology side of the field, since the program was billed as covering non-invasive innovations, AI-driven care, practical business insights and a dedicated APP track, with Peter Staats and course director Sean Li of National Spine & Pain Centers leading. Clinicians wanting broad hands-on procedural training, or those outside interventional pain, would have gotten less from a meeting centred on the intersection of science and business.

Physicians at pain medicine meetings typically wear business casual, such as collared shirts and slacks or dresses, while the Miami Beach resort setting meant light fabrics and a layer for cold session rooms suited well.
