The 2025 Annual Urology Summit is an innovative symposium that brings together all facets of the urology community, including all members of the urologic care team, researchers, patient advocacy groups, societies and subspecialties. The three-day event will expand and strengthen urology's credible and longstanding work with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, government agencies and state legislatures by cultivating and empowering specialty-specific advocates to promote health policy initiatives that benefit their community.
The AUA is engaging more urologic groups than ever before through outreach with dozens of groups, including all eight AUA sections, a wide range of urologic subspecialties and patient advocacy groups. Also, a diverse group of meeting attendees will participate in general legislative sessions, sessions with invited members of Congress, and plenary sessions moderated by thought leaders in the urologic community.
The event will be held at the JW Marriott Washington, DC located on 1331 Pennsylvania Avenue. Attendees also will have the opportunity to visit with legislators on Capitol Hill and, when possible, federal agencies throughout the D.C. metropolitan area.
The AUA Summit is open to any domestic AUA members and patient advocacy groups. The agenda will be catered towards urologists and urologic professionals within the various practice settings.
