The Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology is excited to announce the 57th annual meeting. Our face-to-face meeting will be held April 30 - May 4, 2025 at the Hilton Portland Downtown Hotel in Portland, Oregon.

Following the huge success of the 2024 Annual Meeting, which was the highest attended annual meeting with over 900 attendees from 16+ countries, the 2025 Annual Meeting will mimic the format last year and include a face-to-face event in Portland, April 30-May 4, 2025 but also a virtual event to follow a few weeks later. The 2025 Annual Meeting is two events in one!

The 2025 Annual Meeting will address the theme, “Leveraging Technology for Better Outcome: Improving Lives of Patients & Clinicians." It will feature high-quality research presentations and a dynamic program focused on the latest advances in technology and how it can enhance the practice of obstetric anesthesia. As always, our program will feature the high level of quality you expect from a SOAP event.

To accommodate those attendees who are not able to attend the Annual Meeting in person, we are offering a deconstructed model. The Annual Meeting Virtual Highlights event will leverage a curated offering of popular recorded content from the in-person event plus new, original content. This allows SOAP to serve a global audience and those unable to travel.

Abstract Review

SOAP Active and Associate members are invited to review and score abstracts for the 2025 SOAP Annual Meeting. Please note that the review period is brief, with one week allotted between February 3rd and 13th.

The SOAP Research Abstract Subcommittee will determine whether reviewers will be assigned to review research abstracts or case reports. Reviewers can anticipate evaluating approximately 50-60 submissions in total.

All reviewers are invited to attend a Reviewer Webinar, which will provide important guidance on the abstract review process and scoring criteria. This informative session, designed to enhance your reviewing expertise, will be recorded for those unable to join live.
