Spine Week 2020

Registration is now open for Spine Week 2020 which will be held from April 27th to May 1st in Melbourne, Australia. It will be possible to register at a reduced rate until February 15th. The 15th International SOSORT meeting will also be held during SpineWeek from 27 to 29 April.

The first SpineWeek meeting which was held in Porto, Portugal in 2004. It was well received by individual participants, the involved scientific spine societies and by the supporting MedTech industry.

Three more SpineWeeks followed: Geneva (Switzerland) in 2008, Amsterdam (The Netherlands) in 2012 and Singapore in 2016.

One of the remarkable evolutions noted from one SpineWeek to the next, was the increase of participants coming from Asia. This incited the SpineWeek committee to move east for the 2020 SpineWeek meeting.

SpineWeek meetings have been at the origin of many a scientific collaboration bringing together clinicians and scientists from around the world and from very different scientific societies, such as the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine (ISSLS), the North American Spine Society (NASS) .
