50 forward
SIR 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting March 29–April 2, Nashville
S
IR’s most well-known educational opportunity is the Annual Scientific Meeting, which has brought IRs from across the
globe together for almost 50 years to improve patient care through education, advocacy and thought leadership. No one meeting has been the same—from a single-room session in Key Largo to a COVID-era digital experience, the Annual Scientific Meeting is always expanding, adapting and revising its educational offerings.
SIR 2025 will be the hub of all SIR 50th anniversary celebrations, so don’t miss out on the party. From competitions to new session types, SIR 2025 offers something for members of every practice level and specialty.
This year, get ready for:
1. More networking than ever before with designated times on the program. Join the conversation, ask questions and learn from your colleagues.
2. New session formats to spur creativity, learn new techniques, solve problems in relaxed settings and connect with other IRs.
3. Opportunities designed to advance your career and adapt to the ever-changing job market through upskilling and reskilling.
