Arizona's Premier Ophthalmology CME Event
The Grand Canyon Regional Ophthalmology Conference is ASEPS' flagship annual event, and the most concentrated gathering of Arizona eye physicians and surgeons of the year. Every June, we bring together ophthalmologists from across the state for a focused weekend of continuing medical education, expert-led scientific sessions, peer collaboration, and meaningful professional networking.
The 2026 conference takes place June 5–7 in Flagstaff, Arizona, one of the state's most beautiful destinations, nestled among the world's largest ponderosa pine forest at 7,000 feet elevation, just 90 minutes north of Phoenix and less than 90 minutes from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Scientific sessions cover clinical updates, surgical pearls, and advances across all ophthalmology subspecialties. The conference also features an active Exhibit Hall with industry partners, a Friday evening Opening Night Reception, and a Saturday evening Society Reception, both held inside the Exhibit Hall, giving attendees and sponsors maximum time together in a relaxed, collegial setting.
This is the professional event of the year for Arizona ophthalmologists. We hope to see you in Flagstaff.
CME Note:
ASEPS intends to offer CME-accredited sessions at the 2026 conference. The CME accreditation application is currently in process. This page will be updated as accreditation details are confirmed.
