2027 and 2028 Annual Meeting Call for Host Institutions

The host institution has the following responsibilities:

  1. The host institution will showcase their groundbreaking programs and developments in the art and science of anesthesiology and medicine as a whole with the AUA membership (Host Program) comprised of two panels (75 minutes in length each). The host institution is responsible for identifying and confirming speakers. Speaker reimbursements may be provided on a case-by-case basis and upon approval of the AUA President where applicable. The program schedule will be provided by the AUA Council.
  2. The host institution hosts the AUA Social Event Reception based on the budget approved by the AUA Council.
  3. All meeting income and expenses are received and deposited at the AUA office with any income over expenses retained by the AUA.
  4. The host institution is asked to provide a $20,000 donation to provide support of the AUA Annual Meeting in the role of host institution.
  5. Expenses exceeding the approved budgeted figures will be the responsibility of the host institution.
  6. The host institution is to provide reports on the Host Program and Social Event Reception planning progress during two AUA Council Meetings – one in the fall and the other prior to start of the AUA Annual Meeting.
