The goal of the 11th Annual MIS Spine Symposium is to update spine surgeons and allied health providers on the latest advances in MIS surgical techniques.

The trend in spine surgery for many procedures has been moving toward minimally invasive approaches. These include spine surgery for lumbar fusion, deformity surgery, and cervical surgery. Despite numerous benefits of minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery, there is a difficult learning curve for surgeons when mastering MIS procedures. Increasing familiarity with MIS techniques creates more options for surgeons treating spine conditions with the potential to decrease surgical complications.

This conference includes in-depth lectures, Q&A sessions and eight live lab demonstrations.

The 3rd Annual ESRG Meeting: Embracing Technological Advancements for Complex Spine Pathology is an advanced training course held for orthopedic and neurosurgeons who treat spinal conditions with cutting edge full-endoscopic surgical technique. The SSF Endoscopic Spine Symposium is the first multi-institutional didactic symposium in the United States that focuses exclusively on endoscopic spine surgery. The symposium is a comprehensive instructional series that delves into the intricacies of endoscopic spine surgery. The lab curriculum is designed to provide attendees an opportunity to have direct hands-on cadaveric experience with national experts. The course exposes attendees to state of the art endoscopic spine techniques and technologies. This year, utilizing a prospective data-collection initiative, the ESRG highlights an evidence-based series on optimizing outcomes for a variety of endoscopic procedures.

The 10th Annual Spinal Deformity Symposium is an advanced training course held for current and future orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons who treat adult patients with spinal deformities. Nationally recognized speakers will focus on provocative topics and in-depth debates. They will also provide live surgical demonstrations in state-of-the-art lab facilities. This course is designed to focus on the surgical treatment of adult spinal deformity, address guidelines and controversies in the field, as well as provide opportunities to practice new surgical advances and techniques in the hands-on cadaver lab.
This hybrid course will offer the opportunity for learners to attend virtually & in-person.

Join your colleagues in Denver at the Hilton Denver City Center for the premier interventional pain gathering. Most Annual Meeting rates increase by $200 on July 2nd, July 30th, and September 10th, so register early.

Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Identify best practices to ensure patient safety during interventional pain procedures;
Apply new research findings to the practice of ethical, evidence-based interventional pain care;
Define important patient-centered outcome measures in practice settings.

The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) Annual Meeting is a forum for the realization of the Society's mission and goals, the improvement of patient care for those with spinal deformities. Faculty-led instructional course lectures, case discussions and abstract papers will be presented on an array of topics, including adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, growing spine, kyphosis, adult deformity, minimally invasive surgery, machine learning, and mental health considerations.

During a five-year period, held in North America three times and outside North America twice.
Approximately 1,500 attendees.
The latest and greatest scientific research, methods, and techniques in spinal deformity.
4-day program including Pre-Meeting Course, Scientific Program, Lunchtime Symposia, Case Based Discussions, Industry Workshops, and E-Point presentations.
Podium presentations are four minutes in length.
Minimum two-year follow up required for abstract submissions. The two-year follow up rule does not apply for categories of basic science or biomechanical studies or for topics where two-year follow up is irrelevant, such as 30 day re-admission rates.
Topics focus on current scoliosis and spinal deformity research.

Who Should Attend?
The Annual Meeting is open to anyone involved in the treatment of spinal deformities including surgeons, residents and fellows, physician assistants, nurses, and other allied health professionals and researchers. The podium presentations will provide valuable information to all individuals caring for patients with spinal deformities.

Series Objectives:
Evaluate and select appropriate scoliosis treatments (observation, bracing, or surgery) based on curve severity, progression, and patient-specific factors, while emphasizing a multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach.
Develop practical skills for early scoliosis detection using standardized screening tools and imaging, and provide clear referral guidelines for specialist evaluation.
Provide guidance on comprehensive evaluation strategies, including detailed patient history, neurological assessments, and physical examinations.
Describe the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration for accurate diagnosis, including the roles of neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists.
Discuss case studies that illustrate diagnostic dilemmas and effective strategies for differential diagnosis.

The Sonntag Spine Symposium, held annually, is dedicated to providing education on the latest and innovative technologies in minimally invasive spine surgery.

The primary objective of this event is to impart knowledge and training to the upcoming generation of neurosurgeons. Attendees at the symposium will have the chance to deeply engage in the realm of minimally invasive spine surgery. Alongside case presentations, the course faculty will delve into topics such as adult spinal deformity, single position surgery, and technology. This setting not only facilitates learning new techniques but also fosters a mutually beneficial bidirectional educational exchange among surgeons, fellows, and residents.

Please join us IN-PERSON or VIRTUALLY for a FREE Symposium designed to highlight the latest technologies in the detection, management, and treatment of spine disorders—including both minimally invasive and complex surgical approaches, as well as non-surgical care options.

This year’s focus is “Neck & Radicular Arm Pain,” with in-depth discussions covering emerging technologies, treatment strategies, controversial topics, complications, and socio-economic considerations in spine care. The course will feature evidence-based guideline reviews, expert-led presentations, and opportunities for collaborative discussion.

This year NASS celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the premier meeting in spine. NASS 2025 promises to provide both an amazing educational experience as well as a fun and festive meeting. And an all-new weekend schedule, Friday through Sunday, November 14-16, allows attendees to spend less time out of the office and away from their practice.

We received a record-breaking 1,689 abstract submissions from nearly 40 countries, ensuring the meeting will provide a broad perspective across all specialties, featuring the latest surgical, medical, and multidisciplinary education and research presented through abstract podium presentations, symposia, Best Papers and iPosters, all addressing the hottest topics and trends in spine.

For our 40th Anniversary celebration we’ve created many new special social and fun networking events onsite. And attendees will have the opportunity to take excursions to some of Denver’s most popular tourist attractions. Denver, “The Mile High City”, will provide an amazing experience, with so many things to discover and explore. You’re invited to be part of the 40th Anniversary Celebration at NASS 2025.
