ARS 72nd Annual Meeting

The ARS Program Committee and I are excited to welcome you to Los Angeles for the 2026 American Rhinologic Society Annual Meeting at the historic Biltmore Hotel, October 16–17, 2026.

This year’s meeting promises an outstanding combination of cutting-edge science, practical education, career development, and meaningful opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the rhinology community. We are particularly excited to host this year’s meeting in one of Los Angeles’ most iconic venues while also partnering with the AAO-HNS for a joint session at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Saturday afternoon, further strengthening collaboration between our organizations and expanding educational opportunities for attendees.

Our scientific program highlights the breadth and evolution of modern rhinology. The meeting will feature oral presentations, top abstracts, poster sessions, expert panels, and focused discussions spanning inflammatory disease, skull base surgery, office-based procedures, technology, practice management, and emerging therapies.

We are also excited to continue expanding programming tailored to the diverse interests and career stages within our specialty. Sessions focused on early career rhinologists, practice models and rhinology workforce challenges will provide practical insights that attendees can immediately bring back to their own practices and institutions.

The meeting will again include dedicated programming for Advanced Practice Providers with a focused APP breakout session on Saturday morning, reflecting the increasingly important collaborative role APPs play within rhinology practices and multidisciplinary patient care.

Highlights of the meeting will include the prestigious Hwang Family Lectureship during Friday’s combined session given by past ARS President Sarah Wise, MD, FARS as well as the David W. Kennedy Lectureship on Saturday morning given by past ARS President Michael Sillers, MD, FARS. Both named lectures showcase visionary leaders whose work has profoundly shaped the field of rhinology and skull base surgery.

In addition to the scientific content, the meeting is designed to maximize opportunities for collaboration and networking. Attendees will have time to engage with colleagues during poster sessions, industry exhibits, morning mixers, and social events throughout the weekend. Whether you are reconnecting with longtime friends and mentors or meeting new collaborators, we hope this meeting strengthens the relationships that continue to drive innovation within our specialty.

Most importantly, this meeting reflects the continued growth and momentum of the ARS. The quality and diversity of submitted research, the engagement of our sections and committees, and the enthusiasm of our members continue to elevate the organization and the specialty as a whole.

Thank you for joining us in Los Angeles for what promises to be an exceptional ARS Annual Meeting. We look forward to welcoming you to the Biltmore and sharing a memorable weekend of education, collaboration, and innovation.
