2026 MEETING

Colorado Pain Society’s Annual Meeting brings together a diverse community of pain-focused clinicians for a fast-paced, highly practical weekend of learning, collaboration, and renewal.

This activity is jointly provided by Medical Education Resources and Colorado Pain Society (CPS). CPS is a collaborative network of physicians, advanced practice providers, psychologists, and other interdisciplinary team members committed to advancing pain management and elevating their own knowledge and skills.

In 2026, the working program agenda spans complex spine, neurotrauma, pharmacology, and whole-person care, with sessions on whiplash and post-concussion syndrome, headache, buprenorphine for chronic pain and opioid use disorder, chronic pelvic pain, psilocybin and end-of-life wellbeing, and enhanced recovery with multimodal pain management. The spine-focused track features keynotes on complex spine pain in 2026, implications of exosome-based therapy, and advanced spine decision-making across facet, SI joint, and vertebrogenic pain with thoughtful procedural sequencing.

Across three days, attendees will benefit from 13.5 hours of CME credit as well as dedicated time for Q&A panels, sponsor engagement, and networking at the Friday night dinner, cocktail reception, and outdoor breaks. Medical, nursing, and therapy providers of all specialties who care for patients with pain are invited to attend.

Friday Night Dinner, NEW 2026!

The Colorado Pain Society will offer the Friday Night Dinner as a self-paid event. In light of the positive attendee feedback received following the non-hosted dinner style of 2025, the Colorado Pain Society will now offer a social, networking-style Friday Night Dinner event for our 2026 conference.

A separate registration will be required.
