Design Your Experience at #CMSA2026: Your Conference. Your Impact.

No two case managers approach their work in exactly the same way, and at the 2026 CMSA Annual Conference & Expo, no two conference experiences will be exactly alike.

Taking place June 16–19, 2026, in Las Vegas, this year’s conference is intentionally designed to put attendees in control of their learning journey. With a dynamic schedule, diverse education tracks, and built-in opportunities for connection, CMSA2026 offers more than a traditional conference—it offers a customizable experience shaped by your goals, your interests, and the impact you want to make in your practice.

BUILD YOUR SCHEDULE, YOUR WAY

From the moment the conference begins, attendees are invited to create an experience that fits their professional needs. The week opens with pre-conference workshops and bonus sessions, followed by three days of immersive learning, networking, and collaboration.

Each day is thoughtfully structured to balance education and engagement: from early morning sessions and keynote presentations to concurrent breakout sessions, networking roundtables, and time in the Expo Hall.

This flexible design allows attendees to move between topics, formats, and levels of expertise, ensuring that whether you are new to case management or an experienced leader, your schedule reflects where you are and where you want to grow.

EXPLORE WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOUR PRACTICE

With a broad range of educational tracks and session levels, CMSA2026 makes it easy to dive deeper into the areas that matter most to your work. Sessions are designed for novice, intermediate, and advanced professionals, allowing attendees to engage with content that aligns with their experience and aspirations.

Across the schedule, several key themes emerge—reflecting both the realities of today’s healthcare environment and the direction of the profession:

  • Mental and Behavioral Health: Sessions in this track offer practical tools for navigating complex psychosocial challenges, strengthening communication, and supporting whole-person care in increasingly high-acuity environments.
  • Technology and Innovation: From artificial intelligence to digital care solutions, sessions explore how case managers can adopt and apply emerging tools responsibly, ethically, and effectively.
  • Leadership and Professional Growth: Whether advancing into leadership or strengthening day-to-day practice, attendees will find sessions focused on resilience, communication, and career development.

Together, these topics highlight a profession that is evolving—one that requires both technical knowledge and human-centered skill to deliver meaningful outcomes.

LEARN, CONNECT, AND COLLABORATE

While education is at the heart of the conference, connection is what brings it to life.

CMSA2026 is designed to foster meaningful interaction at every stage of the experience. Attendees can engage in networking roundtables, explore poster sessions, and connect with peers and industry partners in the Expo Hall. These moments are more than social; they are opportunities to exchange ideas, share challenges, and discover new approaches to care.

For first-time attendees, dedicated networking sessions provide a welcoming introduction to the CMSA community, helping participants navigate the conference and build connections from the very beginning.

The result is an environment where learning is not limited to the educational sessions: it happens in conversations, collaborations, and shared experiences across the continuum of care.

MAKE YOUR TIME COUNT

In addition to a personalized learning experience, attendees can earn a wide range of continuing education credits across multiple disciplines, reinforcing the conference’s role as a trusted source of professional development.

More importantly, the value of #CMSA2026 extends beyond the credits earned. Each session, discussion, and connection is designed to translate into real-world impact—equipping case managers with tools, insights, and strategies they can bring back to their teams and organizations.

FROM EXPERIENCE TO IMPACT

At its core, the 2026 CMSA Annual Conference & Expo is about more than attending sessions; it’s about shaping what comes next.

By giving attendees the ability to design their own experience, CMSA reinforces a central truth of the profession: case managers are not passive participants in healthcare’s evolution—they are active drivers of change.

Whether you come to deepen your expertise, explore emerging trends, or reconnect with your professional community, CMSA2026 offers the space to learn, reflect, and move forward with purpose.

Because the future of case management isn’t built in a single session. It’s built through the experiences you create and the impact you carry forward.
