Get 25% OFF when booking for three days or 15% OFF for two days.

The successful interactive format includes short lectures, case-based discussions and demonstrative surgical masterclasses where the distinguished faculty will share their knowledge and expertise on a wide variety of clinically relevant topics. Days 1 and 2 consist of two streams: The main program of relevant and common topics delivered by opinion leaders and experts, whereas the second stream will focus on a concurrent didactic program aimed at middle-grade attendees preparing for their examination as well as established surgeons looking to refresh their knowledge. Participants from both streams will be able to attend the main keynote lectures. Day 3 is a single-stream event.
