If you want to stay at the top of your game as a radiologist, attending radiology conferences is a must. Events, meetings, and CME opportunities help you stay up to date on technological advancements, allow you to network in person with other radiologists, and promote professional development. All of these benefits help you maintain a successful radiology career and ultimately enhance patient care.
Here are the biggest radiology conferences to keep on your radar in 2026 and 2027.
Several radiology organizations host conferences or annual meetings for all members nationwide to attend. Add these radiology conferences in 2026 and 2027 to your calendar.
The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) will hold its annual meeting in late November 2026 in Chicago, IL. The 2027 event has not been announced yet. This is one of the largest gatherings of radiologists in the country and offers a wealth of educational sessions and exhibitions.
The theme for the 2026 dates is “At the Center of Care.” Educators will be exploring the future of precision medicine and care; you won’t want to miss these insights.
The Society of Interventional Radiology’s annual meeting is March 20-24, 2027, in Los Angeles, California. This conference focuses on interventional radiology advancements and hands-on workshops for healthcare professionals.
The American College of Radiology (ACR) will hold its annual meeting May 1-5, 2027, in Washington, D.C. This organization is committed to furthering advocacy, economics, and clinical education in radiology. This year’s meeting will feature awards, elections, breakout sessions, and more.
Continuing Medical Education (CME) is essential to maintaining your radiology license. Radiologists typically need to complete 75 Category 1 CME credits every three years, but some states have stricter requirements.
These are a few radiology conferences and programs offering CME credits this year.
Mayo Clinic offers both online and in-person radiology CME courses. A few examples of available courses include:
Mayo Clinic often focuses on high-level imaging techniques and clinical applications in its CME courses.
UCSF Radiology has a tradition of hosting CME courses in fun destinations around the world, such as Croatia, San Francisco, and, in 2027, Hawaii. This California-based organization provides comprehensive tutorials using evidence-backed approaches, covering topics such as mammography and neurology.
The American Roentgen Ray Society’s annual meeting, taking place May 2-5, 2027, in Denver, Colorado, also offers CME credits. This radiology conference provides over 200 CME opportunities, including 136 educational sessions and a year of on-demand access to sessions you might have missed during the conference.
Running a radiology practice can be time-consuming, and attending conferences may be the lowest priority on your list. However, prioritizing conferences and events offers several benefits.
CME credits are a requirement if you want to maintain your certification with the American Board of Radiology. Many radiology conferences and events offer CME credits.
It’s easy to stay in the bubble of your local radiology community, but conferences allow you to network in person with other radiologists and relevant medical professionals. You can form professional connections and gain insights from industry experts.
Conferences often explore the latest advancements in imaging and diagnostics. You can learn about new technology to adopt in your practice and grow your skills as a radiologist, helping you deliver the best patient care.
If you want to make the most of your conference attendance, planning is key. Follow these steps to promote the best experience.
Research the different radiology conferences happening across the country or around the world before choosing one. You may want to focus on conferences that align with your professional goals and interests. You may also want to look for in-person conferences that won’t require too much travel.
Registering for conferences early often gives you access to discounts and better accommodations. Plan your conference attendance well in advance to take advantage of these benefits. You’ll also need to know the dates ahead of time to schedule patients around the conference and travel days for which you will be gone.
At the conference, it may be easy to become distracted or focus more on socializing than learning. Try to stay engaged by taking notes, asking questions, and minimizing distractions.
Attend as many events, workshops, and networking opportunities as you can throughout the conference to gain the most value. This is one of your only opportunities to spend time outside your practice and learn new skills, so take advantage of it as best you can.
Participating in at least one radiology conference in 2025 will help you stay abreast of industry developments and promote professional growth, giving your practice the tools necessary to deliver the best patient care.
