American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Fellows' Day is the premiere event for graduating Shoulder & Elbow and Sports Fellows.
ASES Fellows’ Day will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at the Innovation Hotel in Naples, Florida. This non-CME educational program will feature short podium presentations, poster sessions, and – new for 2026- selected technique video presentations by fellows whose submissions are accepted, along with presentations from ASES faculty focused on practical aspects of starting a practice and remaining engaged in the Society.
The symposium is chaired by Drs. Eric Wagner and Peter Chalmers. ASES President Dr. Anthony Miniaci, along with other members of ASES leadership, will participate in the program.
New for 2026: In addition to traditional abstract submissions, we will now be accepting technique video submissions, which will be incorporated into the program. Fellows are eligible to submit both abstracts and technique videos for consideration.
The abstract and technique video submission portal is now closed.
All fellows who submitted an abstract and/or technique video will be invited to attend. Invitations will be sent in early April 2026.
Outstanding submissions will be recognized with the following awards:
- Robert H. Cofield, MD Award – Highest-rated podium presentation
- Richard J. Hawkins, MD Award – Highest-rated poster presentation
- ASES Video Technique Award – Highest-rated technique video presentation
The Hawkins and Cofield Awards are named in honor of Drs. Richard Hawkins and Robert Cofield, whose longstanding dedication to medical education and research in basic science, biomechanics, and clinical outcomes continues to influence clinical decision-making through Codman’s End-Result Idea.
Separately, Arthrex will be hosting its own Fellowship Forum at its Naples facility during the same week on June 11-12th. Each event has its own registration process, and organizers manage attendance independently. Fellows are welcome to participate in either or both programs and taking part in one will not affect eligibility for the other.
The Symposium is chaired by Drs. Eric Wagner and Peter Chalmers. ASES President Dr. Anthony Miniaci and other members of the ASES leadership will participate as well.
