About the SLEEP Meeting
SLEEP 2026, the 40th annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, is June 14 to 17 at the Baltimore Convention Center. The APSS is a joint venture of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society. The SLEEP meeting is the premier clinical and scientific meeting focused on sleep medicine, sleep and circadian research, and sleep health. Research abstracts presented at the meeting will be available in May in an online supplement of the journal SLEEP and in the abstract book.
We anticipate that SLEEP 2026 will feature more than 140 exhibits, 1,500 research abstract presentations, and 5,000 attendees, speakers, and exhibitors.
