12th Urology Today Conference

Omni Grove Park Inn  •  Asheville, North Carolina
October 25-27, 2024

On behalf of Program Director, Ryan P. Terlecki, MD, FACS, and the Grand Rounds in Urology Team, we are reaching out to give an update on the 12th Urology Today conference. Due to the devastation in Asheville, NC from Hurricane Helene, and the continued search, rescue and clean up missions ongoing in the area, in agreement with Dr. Terlecki and with the hotel management, we have decided that the only option is to cancel the planned upcoming 12th Urology Today conference.

Your conference registration will be refunded and cancelled in our payment processing system, Eventbrite. You will get an email from Eventbrite about your refund, but let us know if you don’t receive that email in the next few days at the latest.

We are disappointed in not being able to host you this year, but all parties agree that this is the best course of action at this time. We are working with the hotel to rebook this program in Fall 2025 (tentatively October 29-November 2), and further information will be forthcoming on the dates and details. We hope you can reserve your calendar to return with us to Asheville next year.

Thank you for your patience while we discussed the dire situation in Asheville and the surrounding area with the hotel and civic leaders. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
