ACS TQIP Annual Conference

Collaboration: Better Together

Trauma care is complex, and no single person, discipline, or organization can improve it alone. The 2026 TQIP Conference centers on Collaboration: Better Together—bringing the trauma community together to share perspectives, strengthen partnerships, and improve care across teams, disciplines, and trauma systems.

By learning from one another, using data to guide improvement, and sharing practices that work, we can strengthen the systems that support patients throughout the continuum of trauma care.

Why TQIP?

Learn together. Improve together.

TQIP brings the people who lead, deliver, measure, and improve trauma care into one place. Through focused education, real-world examples, and peer exchange, attendees can:

• Learn how other trauma programs are addressing clinical, quality, data, operational, and system challenges.
• Explore new guidance and approaches they can apply at their own centers.
• Strengthen collaboration across disciplines, departments, and organizations.
• Connect with peers who understand the realities of trauma care.
• Return home with practical ideas to improve their programs and patient care.

Your Registration Includes:

• Access to all general and breakout sessions
• TQIP and VRC Academy sessions, oral abstracts, and poster presentations
• Networking and shared experiences with the multidisciplinary trauma community
• Continuing education opportunities
• Conference materials and mobile app
• On-demand access to educational sessions after the meeting
