Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center

The National is the American Podiatric Medical Association's Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) — described by the organization as the premier meeting in podiatric medicine. It brings together podiatric physicians and surgeons, residents, students, and podiatric medical assistants for first-class continuing education, scientific programming, and networking, alongside an exhibit hall featuring companies serving the foot-and-ankle care field. The 2026 edition takes place August 6–9 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, TN, where all educational sessions and official events are held. Attendees can expect a robust educational program, an abstracts competition, and industry exhibits, plus the draw of a marquee Music City location. The show is worth attending for practitioners seeking CE, the latest clinical and practice-management insights, and direct access to product and service vendors. **Attendance is free for students and residents**, making it especially valuable for early-career professionals, while practicing DPMs and medical assistants gain a concentrated forum for education and connection.
