LecturePlan your trip
STACS 2026 takes place at the Phoenix Convention Center in the heart of downtown Phoenix. Sky Harbor International (PHX) is about three miles away — roughly 10 minutes by car or a quick ride on the Valley Metro light rail.
The Phoenix Convention Center will not have Wi-Fi for STACS 2026 — plan to bring a personal hotspot or use cellular data to stay connected. This matters most for vendors running live demos or card payments at the booth.
South Building
100 N 3rd St, Phoenix, AZ 85004
Downtown Phoenix · Ballrooms 150–159
The Phoenix Convention Center offers several parking garages within easy walking distance. Our suggested parking is the East Parking Garage, with convention entry at the South Building. Open the full parking map for garage locations and the closest entrances.
No room block this year. We have not secured a room block and don't endorse any one hotel — these are simply nearby suggestions to make booking easier. Listed by approximate walking distance.
Phoenix is famously sunny and dry around the symposium — warm afternoons and cool evenings. Typical mid-to-late-November conditions:
Packing tip: light layers for warm, sunny days, plus a jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Figures are long-term climate averages.
♥ AzTA 5K · Valentine's
For the people we care for, and the love that keeps us showing up. Because taking care of people is what we do. Our Valentine's-themed 5K is for everyone — walkers, runners, first-timers, and families. Lace up, show some heart, and support trauma awareness and prevention across Arizona. Join us in person at Kiwanis Park, or take part virtually from wherever you are.
Valentine's Day · Super Bowl Sunday
A welcoming course for every pace — run it, walk it, or stroll it with the family.
Family-friendly fun on site to keep the little ones bouncing.
A flyover and fire engine on display — based on availability.
Awards and giveaways to celebrate our runners and walkers.
Honoring the EMS and trauma providers who care for our communities.
Every step supports the AzTA mission to improve care for injured patients across the state. All paces and ages welcome — in person or virtual.
Trade screen time for sunshine. Bring the kids and make a morning of it. All ages and paces welcome — walk it, run it, or cheer from the sidelines.
Every step supports AzTA's mission to improve care for injured patients statewide. Come for the cause, stay for the community.
Bring your booth crew to the start line. Sign up your team and run from anywhere — together in person at Kiwanis Park, or virtually from wherever your company is based. A great way to extend your STACS partnership and support trauma prevention across Arizona.
