Welcome to the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine
ASRA has an international membership of more than 7,400 physicians, including many leaders in pain management. In addition, ASRA supports research related to any aspect of local anesthetics and regional anesthesia and their application to surgery, obstetrics and pain control. This is your chance to meet practicing anesthesiologists, pharmacologists, research scientists, and other allied healthcare professionals from around the world who gather to review new techniques and developments in the field of regional anesthesia and pain medicine. We look forward to you joining us in Vancouver for what promises to be an exciting program.

Regional Anesthesia Experts will be Traveling to Vancouver to View Your Products and Services

These highly-qualified professionals exert a broader infl uence on buying decisions than typical medical convention attendees. The 32nd Annual Regional Anesthesia Meeting and Workshops — devoted exclusively to the educational needs of practitioners of regional anesthesia — provides you with an excellent opportunity to meet more bonifide prospects in just a few short days than you would meet in weeks using more expensive conventional sales techniques.
