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 list of specific partners is posted under the "Partners" tab. It includes input on and representatives from the AUA sections, as well as urologic specialty organizations and patient advocacy groups. Most of these groups have active agenda speaking roles during the conference.
