Dear Colleagues,

We’re pleased to share some good news: the abstract deadline for the 2026 Florida Annual Meeting and Exposition has been extended through September 1. This extra time gives everyone a bit more breathing room to finalize and submit their work. We’d love to see a wide range of contributions that reflect the energy and expertise of our community—whether it’s a polished study, emerging data, or an insightful analysis. This is a wonderful opportunity to share your research, connect with colleagues, and help create a truly outstanding scientific program.

Early-bird registration rates also remain available through September 1—register soon to lock in the best pricing.

Dr. Stefanie Habenicht, FL-ACS Chair-Elect

With the abstract deadline now extended through September 1, I want to take a moment to personally encourage each of you to submit. Whether you have a polished study ready to go, emerging data that could spark great discussion, or an insightful analysis that offers practical insights, your contribution truly strengthens the meeting for everyone. The heart of FAME lies in the diverse perspectives and shared enthusiasm our members bring, and this year’s program will be no exception.

I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing the breadth of work that will fill the sessions and to the conversations that will grow out of them. Equally exciting is the chance to welcome you in person at Innisbrook—a setting that makes it easy to connect both during and between sessions. Let’s take full advantage of this extended window, put our best work forward, and help make 2026 a memorable and invigorating year for FAME.
