I am honored to invite you to join us for the 59th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Head and Neck Radiology to be held at Encore Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, September 24-28, 2025.

The program committee is “all in”, putting together an outstanding 5-day program that will bring together some of the best experts and educators in the field. The ASHNR 2025 annual conference will continue the tradition of being the premiere head and neck radiology education forum. Our ultimate goal is to provide something for everyone, emphasizing practicality and efficiency for real world radiologists, no matter what the practice environment.

This years program will range from basic anatomy tutorials and classic pathologic conditions to advanced lectures that cover cutting edge imaging techniques and expert evaluation of advanced head and neck cancer. Focused sessions will include board review for members in training, hands-on ultrasound FNA and biopsy session for interventionalists, and targeted lectures for the emergency radiologists. We will continue our exciting collaboration with the European Society of Head and Neck Radiology, where international experience is shared in multiple in-depth sessions. As always, the program will feature radiologists sharing their research with oral and electronic presentations, sharing their best teaching with educational exhibits, and we will all be tested by the much-loved case of the day.

Of course no ASHNR meeting would be complete without a terrific opening reception, a Saturday evening Gala, and a little friendly Game Show trivia competition.

It’s going to be a terrific program, and we promise you an opportunity to learn, relax, laugh and share the Vegas Vibe with your friends and colleagues.
