AANS 2027, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons Annual Scientific Meeting, brings the industry to San Diego, United States from 9 April 2027 to 12 April 2027. Whether you build, research or lead, it offers a rare chance to spend a few days entirely immersed in the subject. The annual format gives organisers time to raise the bar with every return. Organised by American Association of Neurological Surgeons, each edition is run with the professionalism the industry has come to expect. Everything comes together under the roof of San Diego Convention Center, a venue that handles events of this size with ease.

Location matters, and San Diego delivers. It brings together the infrastructure of a major event city with the warmth of a place used to hosting guests from abroad. Getting to San Diego is simple thanks to its airport links and well-developed local transport network. Accommodation ranges from business hotels near the venue to characterful stays in the centre, suiting every budget. Leave a little time to explore: San Diego's dining, culture and attractions make the trip about more than just the event. San Diego is among the most prominent event cities in the United States, making it a natural choice for a gathering of this kind.

From fundamentals to the cutting edge, Neurology, Neurological Surgery, Health Care and Neuroscience run through every part of the programme. Between the sessions, informal meetups and hallway chats often prove just as valuable as the main stage. Meeting the right people is half the point, and the schedule is built to make that happen.

You come for the talks and stay for the people — and both are worth the trip. Simply put, AANS 2027 is where professionals, innovators and industry leaders come to think, connect and get ahead.
