Join us for a special 50th Anniversary webinar celebrating the rich history and remarkable growth of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). This milestone event, Sleep and Dreams…50 Years of Shaping the Future of Sleep Medicine, brings together pioneers and leaders whose contributions helped shape sleep medicine into the dynamic field it is today. From humble beginnings to technological and therapeutic innovations, this webinar will provide a fascinating retrospective on five decades of progress and impact.

Moderated by former AASM President Dr. Nancy Collop and Dr. Seema Khosla, this live panel will feature distinguished guests:

• Dr. Mary Carskadon
• Dr. Thomas Roth (AASM President, 1987–88)
• Dr. Meir Kryger (AASM President, 1993–94)
• Dr. Stuart Quan (AASM President, 1999–2000)

Through a rich panel discussion, these experts will explore the founding and evolution of the AASM, the parallel development of journals such as SLEEP and JCSM, the transformation of diagnostic testing technologies, and the evolution of therapies from tracheostomy to CPAP, behavioral interventions, and beyond. They’ll also reflect on key collaborations that propelled the field forward.

Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, sleep technologist, or simply passionate about sleep medicine, this is an extraordinary opportunity to hear directly from those who were “in the room” when major milestones occurred. Learn the story of sleep medicine’s past—and be inspired to shape its future.
