Welcome to your first ISMRM Annual Meeting!
You are joining thousands of dedicated members of the MR Community. Here are some great suggestions to help you navigate through your first annual meeting:
Before The Meeting
Program-at-a-Glance
Plan out your time at the meeting beforehand to make the most of your trip. Click here to view the Program-at-a-Glance to see the descriptions of this year’s course offerings.
Walk Through the Week
If the Program-at-a-Glance is too much to handle, try our Walk-Through-the-Week listing sessions in clinical topics (MSK, Neuro, etc.) for easy navigation through the meeting.
Download the ISMRM app
ISMRM’s Annual Meeting App is the easiest way to follow your agenda through the week. Select the sessions or talks you would like to see for the whole event. Review abstracts, find your way around the exhibition hall, get timely notifications about the meeting—all in the palm your hand. Get the app from the App Store or Google Play.
Get Involved
We love social media! Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Slack, and LinkedIn for all of the latest annual meeting updates. Also, opt-in to receive our email communications. Learn about other ISMRM events throughout the year on ismrm.org. Don’t forget that our members get discounted rates to all of our events.
Make Note of Deadlines
Right before the meeting, we will be sending emails requesting responses to special networking events. Be sure to respond to guarantee a space for yourself. We may run out of room on site.

While you’re in the exhibit hall, stop by our ISMRM & SMRT booth. Meet some central office staff and hear more about membership opportunities and upcoming events. Ask about our next annual meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
