Back in 1962, the Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Association had the vision of promoting education, research, and fellowship among professionals in the field worldwide. This outlook led to the foundation of the APOAC, which eventually became the ultimate hub for innovation and collaboration dedicated to remarkable orthopaedics advancements.
With over 65,000 members from 40+ countries, the congress offers the perfect opportunity for experts to share their breakthroughs and exchange ideas cementing future practices within the industry. Its 24th edition in 2025 is all about a full-body experience of symposia, lectures, and plenaries discussing artificial intelligence and its impact on the spinal and joint sectors.
