The Southwest Embryology Summit invites you to join us for our 15th annual conference.
8-10 January, 2026
Sheraton Mesa Hotel at Wrigleyville West Mesa, AZ
The mission of the Southwest Embryology Summit is to provide low-cost educational opportunities for all embryologists.
In order to achieve this goal SWES will organize, at a minimum, one educational conference a year. Any working embryologist or professional in an associated field may attend. These meetings will provide an interactive discussion of basic biology and applied clinical science related to the fields of IVF and andrology, but there should always be some discussions for novice embryologists/andrologists. These discussions shall encourage interaction of novice embryolgists/andrologists in a cooperative, non-judgmental environment.
Vendor tables and speakers will be present for members to collect and share information.
An excellent learning opportunity as they are designed to be interactive and encourage discussion.
Socialize and build lasting relationships with other members of the field.
