The Aerospace Medical Association-Undersea Hyperbaric Medical Society 

Annual Scientific Meeting  will be held at the

Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, Denver, CO, USA

May 17 - 21, 2026

This year’s theme is “Boundless Frontiers - Relentless Progress”           

As many of you are aware, the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) will be meeting in conjunction with the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Society (UHMS) for the next 5 years and, hopefully, into the distant future. John Peters, the Executive Director of UHMS, is now also AsMA’s Executive Director, alongside Gisselle Vargas, the AsMA Deputy Executive Director. There is much happening in the aviation, space, and sea communities. For example, the air traffic system is getting a much-needed overhaul, though the FAA has reached its quota for ATC hires this year. Unmanned aerial systems continue to make headlines, with reports of drones spotted over New Jersey's night skies and the use of drones to deliver weaponry. New pilots are also being hired. NASA is constantly being invigorated by the development of commercial space rockets, discussions about placing nuclear reactors on the Moon to produce power, the upcoming voyage to the Moon, and the ongoing plans to send explorers to Mars. With these facts, AsMA is counting on all members to continue presenting new research and passing on knowledge to our two memberships, which will provide us with more information to take into the next year and start the process all over again—we are looking forward to an extraordinary meeting in Denver!

The Annual Scientific Meeting is the premier international forum to learn and discuss evolving trends and multidisciplinary best practices in research, clinical applications, human performance, and flight safety. The Annual Scientific Meeting welcomes abstracts in the many areas related to Aerospace Medicine. 

Please Note: Abstracts are limited to 350 words (2500 characters and spaces) NOT including title and authors. Those applying should NOT wait for their funding to be approved before submitting, but should submit as soon as possible.
