*Preconference programming does not include the Practice Innovation Summit and/or the Ultrasound Conferences. Both of these courses require a separate registration.
The In Person Plus pass includes entry to select sessions starting on November 6–7, including advance programming like the Review Course, the Basic and Clinical Research Conference, and the Radiology Bootcamp, plus the Opening Session & Awards and the Grand Opening Networking Event on November 7, scientific sessions on November 8–11, and access to the Poster Hall and Exhibit Hall on November 8–10. Early registration is $1,400 for ACR members and $2,025 for physician nonmembers, with discounts available for interprofessional team members, fellows in training, students, residents, and rheumatology professionals from developing countries and countries in active conflict.
The In Person pass includes entry to all scientific sessions, starting with the Opening Session & Awards and Grand Opening Networking Event on November 7, scientific sessions on November 8–11, and access to the Poster Hall and Exhibit Hall on November 8–10. Early registration is $1,100 for ACR members and $1,650 for physician potential members.
Both registration options offer on-demand access to preconference programming and select scientific sessions through October 31, 2027, and an On Demand only pass can be purchased by members for $699 and by nonmembers for $1,225 for those unable to travel to Orlando, Florida. CE/MOC can be claimed for viewing sessions on demand, and for the first time at ACR Convergence, other members of the healthcare team can claim credit for attending in-person sessions and viewing on-demand recordings.
Add-Ons
This year’s add-on options include the return of the Practice Innovation Summit, taking place November 6–7. Tailored to clinicians, practice managers, and interprofessional team members working in community and private practice settings, the Summit will focus on how to build a smarter, stronger, and financially sustainable rheumatology practice. Early registration fees are $599 for members and $699 for potential members, and ACR/ARP members in training can attend for free. Attendees can register for the Practice Innovation Summit without purchasing an ACR Convergence meeting pass.
The Ultrasound Conferences and Meet the Professor sessions are also back for the 2026 meeting. The Ultrasound Conferences comprise two unique courses, Basic and Intermediate/Advanced. Both courses will take place on November 6–7 and require an additional fee of $2,095 for members and $2,620 for nonmembers. Additionally, attendees can register for the Ultrasound Conferences without purchasing an ACR Convergence meeting pass.
Small group Meet the Professor sessions allow attendees to get up close and personal with a seasoned faculty member speaking on topics like juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic sclerosis, antiphospholipid syndrome, connective tissue disease, reproductive health, and more. These add-on sessions will take place at various times on November 8–10. Fees per session are $90 for members and $140 for nonmembers. Purchasing an ACR Convergence meeting pass is required to add a Meet the Professor session.
The Ultrasound Workshops—back for the first time since 2019—will take place on November 8 and require an additional fee of $325 for members and $485 for potential members. This hands-on training is led by an expert in musculoskeletal ultrasound. One session focuses on ultrasound of the hand, and one focuses on vasculitis ultrasound for giant cell arteritis. Purchasing an ACR Convergence meeting pass is required to add an Ultrasound Workshop.
