After careful consideration, we’re eager to announce that the 2026 SABER Annual Meeting will be held on July 9-12, 2026 at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan!

After exploring potential sites, Michigan State emerged as the best fit for our needs, offering affordable options, a mix of on-campus and nearby hotel lodging, and the facilities to host our program. We’re excited to welcome the SABER community to this campus and look forward to connecting with new and returning attendees next summer.

We’re also excited to introduce a new virtual-only day as part of our 2026 conference program, scheduled for June (date forthcoming) ahead of the in-person meeting. This dedicated online event is designed to generate excitement, foster early engagement, and provide an opportunity for remote participants to connect with the SABER community.

Please note that the in-person conference in July will be held exclusively on-site and will not be offered in a hybrid format.

Stay tuned for more details and mark your calendars now! Details will be posted on the Annual Meeting website in the coming months.
