Success story
Everyone is agreed: the Global Spine Congress 2009 was a major success—and the reason for that is clear. The global spine community came together and offered unprecedented levels of support.
So I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who played a part in making the inaugural Global Spine Congress such an exceptional event. Our presenters who shared their knowledge and experience, our delegates who packed the lecture rooms with such enthusiasm, our faculty members who conducted the meeting, our sponsors and exhibitors who provided practical backing and demonstrated their contribution to the world of spine, and of course the AOSpine team who worked so diligently behind the scenes to organize it.
The Global Spine Congress 2009 was not a one-off—it is the first of a new series of events that will be held every two years. We aim to build on its success and apply everything we have learned to make the world-class Global Spine Congress the very best event of its type.
The next congress will be held in 2011 in Barcelona, Spain. We look forward to seeing you there!
Dr Jeffrey Wang,
Chairperson, Global Spine Congress
