Reuniting the World of Urology at the 2021 AUA Annual Meeting
For more than a century, the American Urological Association (AUA) has stood at the forefront of developing innovative, evidence-based urologic education for urologists and urologic healthcare professionals worldwide. The 2021 AUA Annual Meeting (AUA2021) will continue this longstanding tradition, assembling thought leaders from around the world to provide you with the very latest advancements in urologic medicine. For years the Annual Meeting has brought together 16,000 attendees from over 100 countries around the globe, making it the largest meeting of urologists and urology researchers in the world. Though the world may look different in 2021, the AUA will continue to give you unparalleled access to groundbreaking research, the latest clinical guidelines and technologies in urology, and courses and forums that cover the full spectrum of urology. Additionally, new formats are being introduced to allow you to take in more education than ever before, in convenient and safe environments. We hope to see you in our spectacular host city of Las Vegas, Nevada and during our virtual courses leading up to the in-person Meeting, for what is sure to be the most innovative Annual Meeting yet!
