The American Association of Plastic Surgeons, founded in 1921, is the oldest organized Plastic Surgery organization in the world. Its Annual Meeting is the academic highlight of our specialty.

The more senior members (e.g. retired) of AAPS (Cannon Society) meet annually in conjunction with the meeting, which will be held April 29th – May 2nd, 2023 at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago, Illinois.

To nurture your interest in plastic surgery, some of the Cannon members, in combination with the AAPS, will sponsor at least five medical students to attend next year's meeting.Sponsorship includes free registration, meals normally supplied during the meeting to attendees (including the President's Dinner) and two nights in the host hotel. You will be responsible for your transportation to and from the meeting.
