About This Show
AI-drafted summarySpineWeek is a large-scale international spine congress that brings multiple spine societies together under one roof for a single, collaborative week of scientific exchange. SpineWeek 2027 will take place in Montréal, Canada, from May 16–20, 2027 — the first-ever SpineWeek held in North America. The 2027 edition is convened by a broad coalition of participating scientific societies, including ISSLS, AO Spine, NASS, the Cervical Spine Research Society, ISASS, SOSORT, the Asia Pacific Spine Society and Spine Canada, among others.
The congress draws spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopaedic specialists, researchers, clinicians and MedTech industry partners from around the world. One of the most 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, making it a landmark gathering for advancing global spine care. The 2027 program will feature cutting-edge scientific presentations and collaborative learning in one of Canada's most vibrant cities.

History
The vision of organizing a collaborative meeting that brings multiple spine societies together under one roof began at the turn of the century, and came to life with the first SpineWeek conference held in Porto, Portugal, in 2004, with support from individual participants, participating scientific societies, and the MedTech industry.
Subsequent meetings were held in Geneva, Switzerland (2008); Amsterdam, Netherlands (2012); and Singapore (2016), where participation from the Asia-Pacific region increased significantly. A meeting planned for 2020 in the East was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and was successfully rescheduled in Melbourne, Australia, in May 2023 with an enthusiastic turnout. Montréal 2027 will be the first-ever SpineWeek in North America.
