Join us for a pivotal moment in plastic surgery history as, for the first time, the Presidents of ASPS and PSF unite to co-host a forward-looking panel on the future of breast reconstruction.

From national advocacy to on-the-ground clinical realities, this session will spark candid dialogue and actionable insights for the road ahead.

This unprecedented leadership collaboration blends visionary strategy with real-world urgency—equipping you with the context, tools, and perspective needed to shape the future of breast reconstruction.
