Fall Conference Transitioning to Online Format
The NEACSM has made the difficult decision to postpone the Fall 2020 Conference and convert the content into a digital format. We believe that transitioning to a digital program will allow us to best support our membership, providing continued access to our excellent programming while allowing individuals to stay safe and make plans well in advance. For the latest updates about proposal submissions, registration, continuing education credits and more, visit our Fall Conference webpage by clicking the link below.

CANCELLED: Spring Meeting
Out of an abundance of caution, and out of respect for our membership and speakers, the NEACSM has decided to cancel the Spring Conference scheduled for Friday, March 27th. Our leadership has taken into consideration recommendations for best practices in keeping individuals healthy and minimizing the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). In light of multiple travel bans recently put in place by healthcare and university systems, as well as the concerns of our constituents, we decided to make the difficult decision to cancel this spring programming event. We will refund all pre-registration fees in their entirety.
