Join us in Washington, DC from April 28–29 for the 2026 AAMC FOCI Professional Development Conference—a premier gathering for biomedical professionals at all career stages who oversee and manage conflicts of interest (COI).

This one-of-a-kind professional development experience features a robust, COI-focused agenda designed to strengthen your strategies, sharpen your approach, and elevate your impact—why many attendees call it the “most important conference of the year.” You’ll explore the latest trends and best practices, reconnect with peers, expand your national network of COI professionals, and leave with actionable skills and fresh perspective to support the highest ethical and professional standards.

Expect an engaging mix of:

• Plenary sessions featuring leaders in the field
• Concurrent sessions with workshops and small-group discussions
• Networking opportunities built for real connection and collaboration

You’ll also examine how the evolving healthcare and research landscape is shaping COI policies and management—so you’re prepared for what’s next.
