Attendee and Exhibitor Alert

The Western is aware that fraudulent agencies are soliciting our exhibitors and attendees. These include travel, lodging, and data services that are either not fulfilled or are phishing for information. Some of these scams involve offers purportedly related to an event in Northern California or elsewhere; however, The Western will only be held in Anaheim in 2026. We encourage you to use our weblink to hotel and ticket reservations and protect yourself by not responding to messages unless they are from The Western, CPMA, or our official vendors Freeman and Trade Show Leads. All requests or questions regarding The Western Foot and Ankle Conference should be directed to hello@thewestern.org.
 

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!

Mission Statement

The mission of CPMA’s Western Foot and Ankle Conference is to provide educational opportunities to advance and elevate the level of podiatric care of patients. It is one of the ultimate goals of CPMA’s continuing education activities to provide educational opportunities via conferences and workshops to help expand the knowledge base and technical skills of all involved medical students, residents, educators, providers, and ancillary staff. By doing this, CPMA can ensure the commitment of developing an educational format to benefit all of those in the podiatric medical profession who extend their care into the foot, ankle, and lower leg structures.

The Western would like to acknowledge PICA for their continued support.
