Welcome APOA Congress President
Marinis Pirpiris
Dear colleagues,
Get ready for an extraordinary adventure
On behalf of the APOA, I am thrilled to roll out the red carpet for you at the spectacular 24th APOA Congress, slated for the 9th to the 12th of April, 2025, in the dazzling city of Cairns – your portal to Queensland's tropical splendour, hosted at the iconic, recently renovated and award-winning Cairns Convention Centre!
Gear up for an electrifying 4-day extravaganza brimming with interactive case discussions, instructional lectures, and cutting-edge current concepts discussions, all curated by the globe's leading orthopaedic surgeons. Riveting plenaries will help decode the mystique of artificial intelligence, robotics, and mixed reality, which are reshaping the future of healthcare right before our eyes!
But wait – there’s more! Cairns isn't just a summit venue; it's a treasure trove of Australia's marine magnificence and natural marvels. Home to the majestic Great Barrier Reef, the ancient rainforests, and a tapestry of rich culture, this city promises a feast for your senses and a banquet for your intellectual curiosity.
Embark on an odyssey to the Great Barrier Reef, discover the Atherton Tablelands, unravel the mysteries of Cape Tribulation and the Daintree, and bask in the serene beauty of Cape York and Palm Cove. It's an unmatched opportunity to immerse in the profound stories and spiritual essence of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
So, mark your calendars, submit your abstracts, grab your colleagues, and bring your families for an unforgettable fusion of scientific breakthroughs and natural escapades. I am excited to invite you to Cairns, where you will not only amplify your orthopaedic knowledge but also make memories to cherish for a lifetime!
See you in Cairns – where science and adventure will blend seamlessly!
