10 sessions you have to hit at the 2026 MGMA Annual Conference

The Tuesday morning block at this year's MGMA Annual Conference stacks nine breakouts against one another, and that is before the networking exchanges that cap at 20 seats, the solution presentations and the 1:1 appointments. Somewhere in that pileup is the one hour that pays for the trip.

The conference runs Sept. 27 to 30 in San Antonio, and MGMA is using it to mark its 100th year. The full agenda is live, which means the work of building a schedule now falls to whoever is going. Practice leaders traveling on a tight professional development budget cannot afford to wander into a session that turns out to be a vendor pitch with a case study attached.

A handful of sessions are worth planning the rest of the week around, either because of who is running them, because they repeat and quietly free up a conflicting slot, or because they address the thing that lands on your desk in January. Here are 10 to lock in first.
