Please join us for the AAOS 2026 Annual Meeting in New Orleans. In my opinion, I've always considered the AAOS meeting like the Disney World of orthopaedics. There's so much to choose from. One of the biggest thing about the Annual Meeting that I appreciate is that it brings everyone together from different subspecialties. Not only do you have people from different specialties, but also just the breadth of diversity in terms of international people that are here. So you get people from different countries, different backgrounds, and we all come together on the same roof for orthopaedics. You can't get that other meetings. The AAOS Annual Meeting is the biggest orthopaedic marketplace in the world. It is the meeting for innovation in orthopaedic surgery. We have every company in orthopaedic surgery showing off the latest products, latest techniques. I'm looking forward to seeing the new technology in New Orleans. I think the Exhibit Hall in New Orleans will be vibrant. The Exhibit Hall is a really interesting area to interface with our industry partners and our industry colleagues in that way, and that's what's nice about it is I can learn new stuff there. Then we have the latest research. We have the latest presentations and symposia, instructional courses. So if anybody wants to learn about a new technique or a way to do something, this is the place to do it. The one of the most moments recently in the Academy for me is probably the instruction of OrthoDome. It's very cool to see people perform the surgery that they constantly talk about. This is the only way to keep abreast of the changes in orthopaedics, and so if you don't come to the meetings, you're going to be left behind. you're going to be practicing old orthopaedics. And then we have a lot of networking with people from all over the world. And so if somebody's interested in somebody's technique who's attending the meeting, they can get together and discuss the details of the techniques. There's a lot of opportunity to network with other people that are doing the specialty that you want to do and get advice from people that are higher up than you. One of my favorite moments is connecting with people in the hallways, people that I haven't seen in years. For a surgeon to come and wants to upgrade their skills or wants to refine their technique or wants to change to something different, this is the place to do it. In 2026, we're going to be coming to New Orleans. We're really excited. It's a family friendly city. There's a ton to do down there. So Academy, AAOS, New Orleans, March 2nd to the 6th in 2026. It's going to be a great time! This is the granddaddy of them all. This is the big one. A lot of things happen here and this is where you want to be. AAOS 2026. Here, Moments Become Memories.
