The NASS Annual Meeting gets underway this week with NASS Members, along with thousands of spine professionals and representatives from industry, convening in Chicago to experience the latest spine education, research and innovative technologies. The meeting runs September 25-28 in Chicago at McCormick Place.

This year’s meeting program features surgical, medical and multidisciplinary topics presented through symposia, abstracts, best paper presentations and special sessions. World renowned spine experts will inspire discussion, debate and collaboration on today’s hottest topics in spine. The new President’s Symposium features leaders in spine and key federal agencies discussing current health care challenges and roadmaps to a successful future. There will also be sessions designed specifically for early-career spine professionals to assist them in making the transition from their residency/fellowship to a successful spine practice.
