What Is the ACR Meeting 2026?
The American College of Radiology (ACR) is the leading professional organisation for diagnostic radiologists, radiation oncologists, interventional radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists. The ACR Annual Meeting brings together thousands of radiology professionals for five days of governance, education, and professional development. The meeting includes Council elections and business sessions where ACR policy is shaped, section-specific programming tailored to subspecialties, scientific abstract presentations showcasing the latest research, and the prestigious ACR Convocation ceremony.
The ACR Meeting 2026 Washington DC also serves as a hub for advocacy, as radiologists gather in the nation’s capital to discuss legislative and regulatory issues affecting the practice of radiology, including Medicare reimbursement, prior authorization reform, artificial intelligence in imaging, and patient access to care. The conference’s official hotel rate at the Washington Hilton is $369 per night — making our nearby bed and breakfast an attractive value alternative — saving attendees over $200 per night compared to the official conference rate.
