On behalf of the ASRA Pain Medicine 2026 Fall Meeting Program Committee, we are excited to invite you to the 25th Annual Pain Medicine Meeting, taking place November 5-7, 2026, in beautiful Tampa, FL, at the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street and Marriott Tampa Water Street.

Our 2026 meeting theme, Making Waves: Turning the Tide in Pain Medicine, builds on the momentum of recent years. Following the spirit of Let’s Go and The Whole Clinic, this year’s meeting looks ahead, challenging us to envision and shape the future of our specialty during a time of rapid advancements in science, technology, and clinical practice.

Making Waves is about people and ideas that create impact. Throughout the meeting, we will highlight pioneers, innovators, master educators, and advocates who are pushing the boundaries in pain medicine. We will explore new evidence, emerging technologies, and evolving treatment paradigms while addressing the real-world barriers that often stand between scientific discovery and evidence-based care. Just as importantly, we aim to equip attendees with practical strategies to effect change within their own practices, institutions, and communities.
