What Attendees Say

The scientific program was excellent with a wide range of topics and high-quality presentations. I came away with real direction for our department's next steps.

The meeting provided a clear view of where medical physics is heading. I always encourage my colleagues to attend — the value is evident from top to bottom.

Great atmosphere, great venue, great people. Being in person is the best. I enjoyed catching up with old colleagues and meeting new ones from around the world.

Networking with vendors and other physicists was excellent. I made connections I've continued to use throughout the year — well worth the trip.

I like that there are both research and clinical sessions — that balance makes this meeting valuable to all physicists, regardless of their role or career stage.

The sessions were well-organized and informative, providing relevant updates I could immediately apply in my daily clinical work.

On-demand access meant I could catch everything I missed during overlapping sessions — a critical feature for busy clinical physicists.

Being able to walk the exhibit hall and compare technologies side by side saved me months of individual vendor follow-up. Excellent use of my time.

This is the one conference I won't miss. The combination of science, education, and community is unmatched anywhere in our field.
