Here's what I found for major healthcare/medical conferences in the Bay Area and San Diego for the rest of June and through July 2026, focused on events where medical affairs teams, physicians, and residents are likely to gather.
San Diego - June 2026
ASCRS Annual Meeting
June 17-20, 2026 | San Diego Convention Center
The American College of Surgeons annual meeting is one of the top gatherings for surgeons, residents, and hospital clinical leaders. Strong presence of medical affairs and device/pharma teams. This one is happening right now this week.

Oncology Update 2026 (Scripps Cancer Center CME)
Late June 2026 | San Diego, CA
Scripps Cancer Center's annual CME day-conference for oncologists and advanced practice providers. Pharma medical affairs teams attend to connect with oncology clinicians.

Bay Area - June/July 2026
I was not able to confirm a major regional Bay Area-specific clinical conference (San Jose, Oakland, or SF proper) locked to June-July 2026 from current sources. The major national gatherings scheduled for California in this window are either in San Diego or Sacramento. That said, here are well-established recurring events that are worth checking directly:
- Stanford CME Programs (Stanford Medicine, Palo Alto) - Stanford runs frequent CME symposia in June-July targeting primary care and specialist physicians. Check Stanford CME calendar for current listings.
- UCSF CME / Grand Rounds Events (San Francisco) - UCSF hosts department-specific grand rounds and CME conferences regularly through summer. Check UCSF CME for open registration events.
- BIO International Convention - This major life sciences event is in the Bay Area and typically draws a large medical affairs audience, though the 2026 edition was held in June in Boston.
San Diego - July 2026
No confirmed major physician/medical-affairs-focused conference in San Diego in July surfaced from my searches. The next large San Diego event I found in the Roche/healthcare conference calendar is RISE West (Medicare Advantage senior leadership), which is September 2-4.
Quick Tip for Medical Affairs Targeting
For finding medical affairs teams specifically, the best bets are:
- Oncology CME events - heavy pharma/biotech MA presence
- Large specialty society meetings (ASCRS, ACS, ASCO-affiliated events)
- ACMA Medical Affairs Executive Leadership Summit - no confirmed Bay Area/San Diego date yet for summer 2026, but ACMA events draw pure medical affairs leadership
A note of caution: My web search budget is limited and some June/July 2026 event listings may not yet be fully indexed. I'd recommend also checking:
- 10times.com filtered by healthcare + California
- AllConferences.com - Bay Area and San Diego filters
- Eventbrite Healthcare California for smaller regional CME days
Would you like me to focus on any specific medical specialty (oncology, cardiology, primary care) or a specific audience (purely medical affairs vs. physicians + residents)?
