New this year are the Innovation Theater, where attendees can be the first to hear about leading edge technology and product launches, and the Radiation Safety Zone, featuring products designed to protect radiologists and patients.

The Discovery Theater in Lakeside Center provides a restful environment for informative presentations and live entertainment, and the new Wellness Lounge offers yoga and a quiet space to reflect and refresh.

For those who cannot make it to the meeting or want to supplement their onsite experience, RSNA continues to expand the Virtual Meeting. With more than 400 courses available, RSNA Virtual Meeting attendees can access more content than ever through April 2020.

The meeting's theme is "Seeing Possibilities Together," and the RSNA Board of Directors has taken that theme to heart, already looking toward the future and envisioning possibilities to reimagine and enhance the annual meeting for attendees in the coming years.

Keeping pace with the rapidly progressing field of radiology and adapting to the changing needs of our members and meeting attendees are important goals for RSNA. As part of the Society's ongoing effort to deliver a valuable, high-quality annual meeting experience, RSNA will be evaluating, evolving and enhancing various aspects of the RSNA Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting.

RSNA is developing plans to deliver several experience-enhancing changes over the next two years. This effort will include enhancements across all aspects of the meeting—both onsite and virtual, including technical exhibits, educational and scientific programming, and meeting-related technology. Some improvements will be implemented as early as 2020, while more complex initiatives, requiring longer planning, will be introduced at RSNA 2021.

An important schedule improvement identified through attendee feedback and meeting data is the discontinuation of educational programming on Friday. Therefore, beginning in 2021, the Annual Meeting will conclude at end of day Thursday. Based on feedback from exhibitors, the technical exhibition will change from five days to four days in 2021.

With a record 13,419 abstract submissions for RSNA 2019, the annual meeting planning committees are dedicated to ensuring that the new schedule will continue to deliver a high-quality annual meeting experience, filled with innovation, stimulating education programs, the field's top science and the latest technological advances in a format that reflects the fast-paced lifestyle of busy RSNA meeting attendees.
