Western Surgical Association 2026 Annual Meeting

⚠ Dates corroborated from multiple sources but not yet re-confirmed on the organizer's official page (some sites block automated checks). Confirm on the official site before booking travel.

Resolves the WSA lead flagged in the prior two research passes as previously conflating with other 'WSA'-acronym organizations (Wisconsin Society of Anesthesiologists, Western Thoracic Surgical Association, Williams Syndrome Association, World Summit Awards). WSA (the surgical society, westernsurg.org) holds its annual meeting every November at a rotating western resort/destination city -- confirmed recent pattern: 2023 Dana Point CA, 2024 Colorado Springs CO (Nov 2-5), 2025 Scottsdale AZ (Nov 1-4, per Northwestern Dept. of Surgery conferences calendar). For 2026, the WSA official future-meetings and call-for-abstracts pages (image-banner based, direct text extraction limited) plus independent corroborating references converge on Santa Fe, NM, at the Eldorado Hotel & Spa, November 7-10, 2026 (Sat-Tue, matching WSA's usual Sat-Tue cadence), with an abstract portal already live (abstractscorecard.com EventKey=XGHJKQDL). Marked needs_check because the exact dates/venue were triangulated from multiple independent search results rather than a single clean official-page text render; recommend a spot-check closer to publish time via westernsurg.org/annual-meeting/future-meetings.php or wsa@lp-etc.com (913-402-7102).
