About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe SUFU Winter Meeting is the flagship annual conference of the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU). The 2027 edition takes place February 17–20, 2027, at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in San Diego, California. The society's mission is to optimize the care of women, men, and children with lower urinary tract dysfunction and pelvic floor disorders through education, research, and involvement in health care policy.
The meeting brings together urologists, urogynecologists, fellows, residents, advanced practice providers, researchers, and industry partners focused on urodynamics, neurourology, voiding dysfunction, and reconstructive pelvic surgery. Sessions span basic and translational science, clinical debates, complex case discussions, novel surgical approaches, and updates to practice guidelines.
Attendees come for a compact, high-caliber scientific program in a waterfront resort setting, plus opportunities to present research, network with leaders in the field, and earn continuing education. Recurring features include a basic science session, the Fellows Forum, keynote lectures, and peer-reviewed abstract and video presentations, making it a key event on the functional and female urology calendar.

History
SUFU's winter meetings have been held for decades, with records of a Winter Meeting dating back to at least the early 2000s (e.g., the 2004 Winter Meeting in Scottsdale, AZ), and the society's annual meetings tracing back to the late 1990s. In addition to its standalone Winter Meeting, SUFU also convenes annually at the American Urological Association (AUA) meeting. Recent Winter Meetings have moved among resort and downtown locations, including the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn (2020), a virtual meeting (2021), the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina (2022), the Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa (2025), and the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino in San Juan (2026). The 2027 meeting returns to San Diego at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront.
