SAHM AM27 SIG Meeting Requests

SIG Meeting Request Instructions

This year, we’re excited to offer Special Interest Groups (SIGs) the opportunity to host impactful virtual meetings for all SAHM Members and attendees – regardless of whether they are attending this year’s Annual Meeting. This is your chance to dive into key issues, enable the exchange of ideas, and foster collaboration on clinical or research projects.

The Program Committee invites SIGs to host a virtual meeting leading up to the SAHM Annual Meeting or shortly after. For SIGs that are unable to meet virtually, a limited number of opportunities are available to meet at the SAHM Annual Meeting. Please note that meeting opportunities are limited due to space constraints at the venue.

SIGs can choose to either:
  • Host a virtual meeting two weeks prior to the Annual meeting between February 15 -24, 2027
  • Host a virtual meeting the week immediately after between March 10-24, 2027
  • Host an in-person meeting during the SAHM Annual Meeting between March 2-5, 2027

Please note: SIGs can host either one virtual meeting or one in-person, but not both.


Request Deadline October 1, 2026
