November 13-15, 2026 | Hilton Anaheim
The 2026 TQIP Conference centers on the theme Collaboration: Better Together, highlighting the essential role of connection and shared effort in advancing trauma care. Addressing the complexities of patient care requires more than individual expertise—it demands coordinated action across teams, disciplines, and institutions. When we bring varied experiences and insights to the table, we create opportunities to learn from one another and uncover better solutions. Through collaboration, we can accelerate the spread of effective practices, use data to guide improvement, and strengthen the systems that support patients at every stage of care. By working in partnership, we not only improve outcomes—we build a stronger, more unified approach to trauma care.
TQIP 2026 registration will open in late summer of 2026.
The 2025 Trauma Quality Improvement Annual Conference (TQIP) drew more than 2,100 attendees to Chicago, November 8-10. Approximately 500 additional individuals registered for the on-demand sessions. The theme for the 15th annual TQIP meeting was “Team Works,” highlighting the importance of high-functioning teams.
In addition to sessions on expanding your team to ensure the best patient outcomes, using advanced technology to augment the team, and intrateam conflict resolution, the TQIP meeting reprised its popular leadership and registry tracks. The keynote speaker was Coach Donnie Campbell, who inspired the popular Ted Lasso streaming series; the trauma survivor speaker was Bri Scalesse, who—at age 6—survived a fatal car crash that left her without a mother and a complete T12 spinal cord injury.
