GoingToMeet

For the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine (ISSLS), the Spine Society of Europe (SSE) and the European section of the Cervical Spine Research Society (E-CSRS), SpineWeek is the normal annual meeting. The two societies of Latin America: the Brazilian Spine Society (BSS) and the Sociedad Iberolatinoamericana de Columna Vertebral (SILACo) meeting on odd years, join SpineWeek with a full delegation and a scientific program. The Asia-Pacific Orthopaedic Association – Spinal Section (APOA) does not participate as society, but is sending a delegation to SpineWeek in Geneva. This year we welcome a new partner in this scientific adventure, The North American Spine Society (NASS).

The social program at SpineWeek 2008 will again reflect the separate identity of the participating scientific societies. Each one will host its own official dinner and halfway during the week, there will be an official SpineWeek banquet.
