How to Register for the STS Annual Meeting

Updated

Registration for the STS Annual Meeting is handled through the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) website at sts.org. According to the STS homepage, the 63rd STS Annual Meeting is open for registration, and early bird discounts are available until Nov. 2, 2026. If you want the lowest rate, register before that date; if you are still deciding, you can still register afterward, but the early bird pricing will no longer apply.

What the STS Annual Meeting Is

The STS Annual Meeting is described on the site as "the premier meeting in cardiothoracic surgery." It is organized by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, the professional body behind the STS National Database and other quality and research programs. The homepage lists the 63rd Annual Meeting as a current highlight alongside advocacy updates and the STS Surgeon Compensation Survey.

How to Register

The STS homepage provides a registration entry point for the 63rd Annual Meeting. The general flow is:

  1. Go to sts.org.
  2. Find the Annual Meeting registration link in the site's updates or highlights section.
  3. Complete the registration process through the STS site.

The homepage confirms that registration is open and that early bird discounts are available until Nov. 2, 2026. It does not list specific registration fees, membership requirements, or a step-by-step form on the page itself, so check the registration page for current pricing and any member versus non-member rates.

Common Questions

Do I need to be an STS member to register? The homepage does not state a membership requirement. Confirm this on the registration page, since member and non-member rates often differ.

Is there a discount? Yes — early bird discounts are available until Nov. 2, 2026. Registering before that date is the way to secure the lower rate.

Where do I get the latest details? The STS homepage and its Annual Meeting registration link are the source for current deadlines and pricing. Details such as the full program, venue, and continuing education information are not included in the homepage excerpt, so consult the meeting pages directly.

  • STS Surgeon Compensation Survey — open for U.S.-based cardiothoracic surgeons, covering specialty, practice, career stage, and geography.
  • STS National Database — clinical registries and quality improvement resources.

For registration itself, the essential action is simple: visit sts.org, open the 63rd STS Annual Meeting registration link, and complete it before Nov. 2, 2026 if you want the early bird rate.
