The Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists Annual Meeting and Workshops is scheduled for April 8-11, 2027, at Bellagio in Las Vegas. Organized by the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, it is a specialty medical meeting and workshop program for cardiovascular and thoracic anesthesiology. The primary audience includes cardiothoracic anesthesiologists, fellows, residents, researchers, perfusion and critical-care collaborators, surgeons, industry representatives, and other perioperative specialists. The meeting addresses clinical practice, research, quality, safety, education, and multidisciplinary care for patients undergoing cardiac, vascular, and thoracic procedures.

Event overview

SCA’s 2027 program includes didactic lectures, small-group teaching, hands-on workshops, panels, problem-based learning discussions, scientific abstracts, exhibits, and professional networking. Topics are developed across anesthesiology, cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, perfusion, critical care, regional techniques, echocardiography, and perioperative management. The Thoracic Anesthesia Symposium is scheduled in conjunction with the annual meeting, allowing participants to add a concentrated program focused on thoracic practice.

The organizer expects more than 1,200 participants and designs content for both developing and advanced clinicians and researchers. Continuing-medical-education credit and separately registered workshops affect individual schedules. The official SCA pages identify April 8-11, 2027, as the Annual Meeting and Workshops, with the Thoracic Anesthesia Symposium on April 8. The import dates have been aligned with that official schedule. Program details, admission categories, and room assignments can change as the organizer finalizes the edition. The official event website should be used for current eligibility, registration, credential, and schedule requirements.

Operationally, the program depends on advance registration and an organizer-issued schedule. Education rooms, exhibits, competitions, demonstrations, and private functions can have separate admission rules even when they share a venue. Participants generally select activities according to job role, credential, membership, age division, or registration type. Exhibitors and sponsors operate under separate move-in and access requirements. Those distinctions matter because the listed date range describes the overall event and does not necessarily mean every component is open for the full period.

History in Las Vegas

SCA identifies the 2027 gathering as its 49th Annual Meeting and Workshops. The available official material verifies Bellagio and Las Vegas for this edition but does not establish an uninterrupted local series. The meeting rotates among destinations, and the 2028 annual meeting is scheduled for Florida. Las Vegas should therefore be described as the confirmed 2027 host rather than the permanent home of the association’s annual program.

Location

Bellagio is a central Strip resort with hotel rooms, conference ballrooms, breakout rooms, restaurants, and event services in one complex. The annual meeting, workshops, symposium, exhibits, and networking functions can share the conference property, reducing transfers during a schedule with separately timed clinical programs. The resort is large, so participants should follow SCA’s room assignments for workshops and problem-based sessions. Bellagio is the meeting venue named by the society, not simply an attendee hotel.

The event’s practical role is to give its defined professional, industry, or participant community a common place for education, organized activity, supplier contact, and peer exchange. This description summarizes the published event structure without treating estimated attendance, proposed sessions, or organizer marketing language as confirmed outcomes.
