ISAKOS Looks Forward to Shanghai!
On behalf of the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, we cordially invite you to the 11th Biennial ISAKOS Congress in Shanghai, China. The ISAKOS Congress continues to be considered the premier international meeting providing a diverse and unique opportunity for attendees to share, discuss and learn the latest advancements in arthroscopy, knee surgery and sports medicine.
Our goal with the 11th Biennial Congress is to build on the success of previous congresses to provide a program that meets the needs of a wide variety of orthopaedic surgeons, from all parts of the globe. We will strive to provide an evidence base for clinical practice and to provide expert commentary and perspective on the current evidence base. Our goal is to build a program that gives attendees to the opportunity to catch up on the latest trends and techniques in all fields, while featuring both Western and Eastern perspectives. We hope to give as many attendees as possible the opportunity to present from the podium or in an e-poster, and provide a comprehensive course for both the novice and expert surgeon.
The five-day Congress will include a variety of educational opportunities such as surgical demonstrations, paper presentations, debates, lectures, symposia and instructional course lectures. Lunch time hands-on workshops, electronic posters and technical exhibits will also be offered. The ISAKOS Congress provides a variety of new prophylactic, therapeutic and surgical technique information, allowing attendees to expand their knowledge and enhance their surgical skills.
Abstract Submission is now open, and will remain available until September 1, 2016. Abstracts will be considered for podium presentations and / or electronic posters. In addition, exceptional abstracts are considered for several ISAKOS Awards for outstanding clinical or laboratory research. Awards include honoraria and waived registration and are recognized in an Awards Ceremony at the Congress.
The city of Shanghai is a classic backdrop for an ISAKOS Congress. The ISAKOS Congress will also host a variety of social events such as; the Welcome Reception for all Congress attendees and their guests, a spouse and guest program and a special tour program.
You are a vital part of the 11th Biennial ISAKOS Congress! We hope you will plan to participate in the international experience that is the ISAKOS Congress. We look forward to seeing you in Shanghai!
