Join us in Montréal, Canada

Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Friends,

We cordially invite you to join us in Montréal, Canada for SpineWeek 2027. The vision of organizing a collaborative meeting that brings multiple spine societies together under one roof began at the turn of the century. This idea came to life with the first SpineWeek conference, held in Porto, Portugal, in 2004 enabling. The event was met with eager support from individual participants, the participating scientific societies, and the MedTech industry.

Since then, SpineWeek has continued to grow and evolve. Subsequent meetings were held in Geneva, Switzerland (2008); Amsterdam, Netherlands (2012); and Singapore (2016), where we saw a significant increase in participation from the Asia-Pacific region. This global reach led us to plan a meeting in the East for 2020. Although SpineWeek 2020 was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, we successfully rescheduled it in Melbourne, Australia, in May 2023 with an enthusiastic turnout and outcome.

One of the most unique and powerful aspects of SpineWeek is the opportunity for cross-pollination across societies. With multiple spine organizations meeting simultaneously, attendees gain exposure to a broader spectrum of ideas, techniques, and technologies than they would at a single society’s meeting. This collaborative environment fosters the sharing of research breakthroughs, promotes camaraderie across specialties and regions, and opens doors for innovative partnerships. It’s a space where new insights emerge and the global spine community comes together to advance patient care.

Looking ahead, we are thrilled to announce and welcome you to the next SpineWeek in Montréal, Canada, May 16-20, 2027—the first-ever SpineWeek in North America. This highly anticipated event will feature an exciting week of cutting-edge scientific presentations and collaborative learning opportunities in one of Canada’s most vibrant cities. We invite you to join us in Montréal for this landmark gathering and help spread the word as we continue our tradition of advancing spine care across the globe.

Thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm, and we look forward to seeing you in Montreal!
