Edward Holland, MD, chair of the ASCRS Program Committee, thinks this gathering will be remembered for years to come. "As physicians, we acknowl- edge that SARS-CoV-2 will be a threat that we will be dealing with for the foreseeable future. The ASCRS Program Committee and Executive Committee think that we have created as safe of an environment as possible along with an outstanding educational event. If you are looking forward to attending a live meeting, the 2021 ASCRS Annual Meeting is the one for you. This promises to be an exceptional meeting designed to provide the best education, inspiring speakers, and great opportunities for attendees to network with colleagues. As clinicians, we gain some of our most valuable insights from talking with our colleagues, and we have seen this type of learning cannot be duplicated in a virtual environment. We look forward to seeing our friends and colleagues in Las Vegas this July."
