RSNA 2026 — Radiological Society of North America Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting
by Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)
The world's largest radiology meeting, and the biggest single gathering of medical imaging AI vendors
About This Event
RSNA 2026, the Radiological Society of North America's Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, runs 29 November - 3 December 2026 at McCormick Place in Chicago, with technical exhibits open 29 November - 2 December. This edition is themed 'At the Center of Care' and is built around the role radiologists play across the health system, with a plenary and speaker lineup, CME courses across every radiology subspecialty, and a technical exhibit floor that has become the medical imaging industry's main annual showcase. The AI programming is now a section of the meeting in its own right: an AI Showcase with more than 100 exhibitors, AI Theater presentations on machine learning and deep learning, Radiology Reimagined interoperability demonstrations, hands-on Deep Learning Lab sessions, the 2026 RSNA Knee MRI AI Challenge and the RSNA Imaging AI Certificate Program. Registration is open, and rates increase by USD 100 on 2 October 2026.

Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓Radiologists and radiology department chairs
- ✓Health system CIOs, CMIOs and imaging IT leaders
- ✓Enterprise imaging and PACS administrators
- ✓Medical imaging vendor product and strategy leaders
- ✓Clinical AI researchers and data scientists
- ✓Radiology residents, fellows and technologists
Why Attend
For a health system CIO, CMIO or imaging service line leader, RSNA is the one week a year where the entire medical imaging AI market is in a single hall and can be compared directly. Five days here replaces months of vendor calls: the AI Showcase covers 100+ suppliers, Radiology Reimagined demonstrates interoperability live rather than on paper, and the Deep Learning Lab and Imaging AI Certificate Program give clinical staff hands-on evaluation experience. The virtual tier means a decision team can cover the programme without sending everyone to Chicago.
Event Features
- ✓AI Showcase with 100+ AI exhibitors in the technical exhibits
- ✓AI Theater — 20-minute live presentations on AI, machine learning and deep learning from exhibiting companies
- ✓Radiology Reimagined interoperability demonstrations of AI-enabled practice tools
- ✓Hands-on Deep Learning Lab sessions with equipment and AI applications under expert guidance
- ✓2026 RSNA Knee MRI AI Challenge — RSNA's first musculoskeletal AI challenge
- ✓RSNA Imaging AI Certificate Program
- ✓Plenary and speaker lineup built on the 'At the Center of Care' theme
- ✓Technical exhibits, 29 November - 2 December 2026
- ✓CME courses across radiology subspecialties
What Makes This Unique
- ★The AI Showcase concentrates 100+ medical imaging AI exhibitors in one hall — the largest single place to compare imaging AI vendors side by side in a year
- ★Radiology Reimagined runs live interoperability demonstrations, so integration claims are shown working rather than described in a datasheet
- ★The RSNA AI Challenge is a real annual benchmark run by the society itself; the 2026 edition is a Knee MRI challenge, RSNA's first musculoskeletal one
- ★Hands-on Deep Learning Lab sessions let clinical staff use the equipment and AI applications under expert guidance instead of watching a demo
- ★A full virtual tier is sold alongside the in-person meeting, including live-streamed plenaries, so a team can send one person and still cover the programme
