2026 ACSM Annual Meeting

ACSM’s vision is to “extend and enrich lives through the power of movement” and ACSM believes striving towards a powerful vision requires many elements including key partnerships. ACSM’s strategic partners in this work include membership in the Physical Activity Alliance whose mission is to lead efforts to create, support, and advocate policy and system changes that enable all Americans to enjoy physically active lives and in the Global Alliance for the Promotion of Physical Activity which supports physical activity for the entire population. In support of these critical efforts to make the world a healthier, more active place, ACSM’s 2025 Annual Meeting Spotlight will focus on the intersection between basic, applied and/or clinical science as it relates to their collective impact on the effects of movement on individuals, populations and society.
