Another successful year for the Global Spine Congress

 

 

The Global Spine Congress (GSC) again successfully brought 1,700 spine professionals from all over the world to Singapore on May 2–5, 2018.  Participants attended four days of GSC's scientific program showcasing the latest research, innovative techniques and cutting-edge technologies in spine surgery.

 

With the vision to create a truly global spine congress—gathering international speakers and participants, the GSC has experienced exponential growth since its inception in 2009. AOSpine's annual event provides a unique approach to sharing knowledge and developing new approaches to the treatment of spinal disorders to help advance spinal care and improve patient care.

 

Highlights from the GSC in Singapore:

 

• 1100 abstracts submitted
• 1700 international participants
• 171 expert speakers from 31 countries
• Symposia from 12 guest spine societies
• 46 sponsoring companies
• Scientific program which included pre-courses, AOSpine and society symposia

 

For the first time in GSC history, the scientific program featured three 1-day intensive cadaver workshops organized by the North American Spine Society (NASS). Also new this year, the GSC brought part of its scientific program straight to individual's homes, offices and hospitals through live streaming a select number of symposia.
