Registration is open for the 2025 AMA State Advocacy Summit, Jan. 9-11, 2025, at the Omni LaCosta Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California. 

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to join hundreds of physician leaders and medical society staff.

• Hear from national experts on the critical issues impacting medicine at the state level.
• Strategize with advocacy leaders on their organizations’ state legislative and regulatory priorities.
• Network with other physician leaders and colleagues from across the country.

Conference content will focus on high priority health care issues that states will likely address in the coming legislative sessions, such as combatting harmful payer practices, preserving physician-led team-based care and uplifting physician wellness. Other critical issues will include augmented intelligence, mental health and substance use disorder parity, private equity and reproductive health.

The 2024 Summit held earlier this year sold out. Make sure to reserve your spot by registering now and booking your hotel room. 

Registration is open for the 2025 AMA National Advocacy Conference, Feb. 10-12, 2025, at the Grand Hyatt Washington in Washington, D.C. 

As physician practices are facing yet another year of unsustainable Medicare payments, now more than ever—we need your voice on Capitol Hill. The key focus for this year’s conference will be Medicare physician payment reform.

View the preliminary agenda (PDF). We are once again working with Soapbox to book Capitol Hill visits for all attendees (until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025), so please plan your travel accordingly.

Review last year’s meeting highlights for an idea of what you might expect at this year’s conference. Don’t forget to book your hotel room as well. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
