Welcome To The Western!
The 2026 Western Foot and Ankle Conference is the go-to meeting for podiatric medical professionals to earn CECH, engage with exhibitors, and converse with colleagues in a unique, easy-to-get-to location - The Happiest Place on Earth! Doctors' general sessions will last 3.5 days for 26.25 CECH and the Podiatric Medical Assistants' program will be 2 days - one administrative, one clinical with hands-on training - for a total of 14.25 CECH.
Bring your family for fun after sessions at one of the hotel properties, Downtown Disney - an open air shopping, dining, and entertainment space, or reserve discounted tickets for one or both theme parks and enjoy all that Disneyland Resort has to offer. Western attendees get a private link to reserve theme park tickets and hotel rooms at two of the onsite hotels. But don't wait! Rooms sell out fast, and reservations for theme parks is not guaranteed.
Register early to save on registration fees and to take advantage of our hotel room block and discounted theme park tickets!
