ACC Legislative Conference 2026

Join us in Washington, D.C., October 4–6, 2026, for the ACC Legislative Conference, the College's premier advocacy event. This annual conference brings together cardiovascular professionals from across the country to learn about key health policy issues, connect with ACC leaders, and advocate for the future of cardiovascular care on Capitol Hill.

Throughout the year, ACC works to strengthen relationships with lawmakers and advance policies that support cardiovascular clinicians and the patients they serve. The Legislative Conference gives you the opportunity to be part of those efforts by sharing your experiences directly with members of Congress and their staff.

We strongly encourage Wisconsin ACC members to attend ACC Legislative Conference and help ensure Wisconsin has a strong presence on Capitol Hill. This is a critical opportunity to engage directly with policymakers, advocate for issues impacting cardiovascular care, and make sure the voice of our cardiovascular community is heard.

A strong Wisconsin delegation makes a difference. We encourage members from across the state to participate, bring the numbers, and join us in representing Wisconsin’s patients, clinicians, and cardiovascular teams during this important advocacy event.
