2026 Scientific Program
Welcome to the 82nd ASRM Scientific Congress & Expo!
This year, we are thrilled to welcome you to Baltimore, Maryland, for the 82nd ASRM Scientific Congress & Expo, centered around the theme Discovery, Innovation, & Advancement. As reproductive medicine continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, this year’s Congress is designed to bring together the brightest minds from around the world to explore groundbreaking science, exchange innovative ideas, and advance the future of patient care.
Under the outstanding leadership of Scientific Congress Program Chair Dr. Kathleen Hwang, Postgraduate Program Chair Dr. Josh Halpern, and their dedicated team of volunteers and faculty, we have created a dynamic educational experience that will challenge your thinking, spark your curiosity, and provide practical strategies you can immediately incorporate into your practice.
One of the most exciting innovations for 2026 is the debut of the Master Class Summit—a bold evolution of ASRM’s educational programming. Replacing the traditional Postgraduate (PG) Courses, this immersive, full-day experience reflects our commitment to meeting the changing needs of today’s reproductive medicine professionals. The Master Class Summit is designed to move beyond traditional lectures toward highly interactive, application-focused learning. Through expert faculty, case-based discussions, hands-on workshops, and customizable learning pathways, attendees will gain practical, evidence-based skills that can be immediately applied to clinical practice.
Answering the call of this year’s theme, the program highlights discoveries and advancements that improve access to care, diagnostic testing, treatment, patient management, and reproductive health outcomes. Our plenary and keynote sessions feature internationally recognized leaders exploring some of the most exciting frontiers in reproductive medicine, including epigenetics, oncofertility, artificial intelligence, precision medicine, and leadership. Together, these sessions will inspire new ways of thinking about the future of our field and the patients we serve.
Throughout the meeting, we will celebrate the groundbreaking work of our ASRM Research Institute grantees, recognize our PRIMED Scholars for their leadership and advocacy, and welcome our international society partners, whose global perspectives continue to strengthen our profession. Returning favorites—including Journal Club Global, Roundtable Discussions, and the Society Social Hour—offer outstanding opportunities for learning, collaboration, and networking. In addition, our newly reimagined Professional Perspectives sessions will engage participants in dynamic conversations, networking and collaboration, and practical skill-building around today’s most pressing clinical challenges.
We are honored to welcome our members, trainees, researchers, clinicians, educators, industry partners, and colleagues from around the world. Your participation and engagement are what make the ASRM Scientific Congress & Expo the premier educational event in reproductive medicine.
Finally, I hope you will join us on Sunday evening, October 25, 2026, for the President’s Gala celebration benefiting the ASRM Research Institute.
Thank you for joining us for ASRM 2026. We look forward to an inspiring week.
Sincerely,
Robert Brannigan, MD
ASRM President 2025-2026
