Pre-Congress Courses (Additional Fee Required)

Pre-Congress Courses will be held concurrently on Wednesday, 7 October, prior to the start of the scientific session portion of the program. All of our Pre-Congress Courses require additional registration and payment, and they are the only component of the Global Congress program offering CME credit.

  • In order to register for a course, registration to the Global Congress (Scientific Sessions) is required.
  • Because all Postgraduate Courses happen on the same date and time, you are only able to choose one.
  • Pre-Congress Courses will not be recorded, but slides and materials provided by course faculty will be available to course registrants until 31 December 2026.
  • For course registrants, one (1) coffee break is included within the course registration fee. Additionally, there will be a 90-minute lunch break period for course registrants to go grab lunch (on their own expense), or course registrants may register for a complimentary Industry-Supported Lunch Event, when available.

  • SMFM Member Rate (Resident, Fellow, Practice Professional, Student): $363 USD until 25 September ($300 + 21% VAT); $484 USD after ($400 + 21% VAT)
