From today’s press release from ACOG:


ACOG 2023 Annual Clinical & Scientific Meeting Will Not Be Held in Louisiana

ACOG will be relocating next year’s Annual Clinical & Scientific Meeting from New Orleans, Louisiana, to a state whose legislative climate is consistent with our values. Holding the nation’s largest gathering of obstetrician–gynecologists in a location where the provision of evidence-based care is banned or subject to criminal or other penalties is directly at odds with our mission and values.

Our annual meetings are the source of learning, camaraderie, community, and strength. It is important that our flagship national meeting be held in a location that shares our values, protects our members as they do their jobs, and provides patients with full access to reproductive health care. We look forward to announcing our new location whose laws allow our members to provide and our patients to receive evidence-based care without fear of criminal prosecution or other penalties.


Editing to add that there has not yet been anything posted on the ACOG website, so I'm still unable to provide a link.
