AOSSM | American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine 2026

The 2026 meeting is held in the Arch building of the Seattle Convention Center. Arch at 705 Pike Street, the Seattle Convention Center's original building, features 61 meeting rooms, four ballrooms and six exhibit halls, as well as a number of cozy seating areas. All meeting rooms and ballrooms are fully carpeted and equipped with advanced connectivity and audiovisual support, and the building sits adjacent to Freeway Park, Seattle's largest downtown public space.

Arch has 236,700 square feet of exhibition space on the fourth floor, divided into two halls connected by a 90-foot-wide skybridge across Pike Street, with capacity for 1,105 booths or 8,000 people seated for plenary sessions. The building's main public space is a four-story atrium with restaurants, shops, and public artwork. The wider campus, combined with the newer Summit building, covers roughly 1.5 million square feet.

The venue offers three on-site parking garages. The Arch parking garages are located just off Interstate 5 and can accommodate approximately 1,490 vehicles, with daily and monthly parking at the Arch Garage, which is attached to SCC Arch, and Freeway Park, which is adjacent. Summit's parking garage can accommodate a few hundred vehicles and is available for daily parking.

• Three on-site garages serve both buildings — Arch Garage (about 1,490 spaces), Summit Garage, and Freeway Park Garage — and can be pre-booked via SpotHero.
• Parking option pricing can vary from roughly $10 to $50 per day.
• EV charging is available at Arch Garage Aisle A (free first two hours) and Summit Level 1B at $2 per hour.
