About the Summit

The 5th AABIP Advocacy & IMPACT Summit is a one-day, in-person working meeting where AABIP members, national experts, and industry partners tackle the issues shaping Interventional Pulmonology, together.

The Summit brings together a select group of national experts, medical society leaders, and industry professionals with a shared interest in advancing the field. Through an open exchange of ideas and experience, we work toward common goals on advocacy: expanding IP programs, bringing new services and technologies into practice, and strengthening the IP practices of our members.

The AABIP Board of Directors and members of the Advocacy Committee attend the Summit, making it a rare chance to work directly with the leaders who set the society's priorities. To keep conversations engaged and productive, attendance is limited to 100 participants.
