Voices from our Community: What Attendees Say
Congratulations on such a wonderful event (…). This society is truly the model for all others. Incredible scientific content, unbiased and well attended - over a thousand in lectures.
My application to join is going in this week!!!
I have attended three big spine conferences in 2023 [...]
Let me tell you that EUROSPINE was the best one! The content, the format, the learning experience - all excellent.
Congratulations and thank you!
Dear colleagues, ladies, and gentlemen,
We are delighted to invite you to our 2024 Annual Meeting that will be held in Vienna on 2–4 October.
This year's meeting in Vienna will build on the success of last year's 25th anniversary meeting in Frankfurt, both in the choice of city and in the scientific content.
Vienna is one of the best-known European meeting destinations - and with good reason. Hardly any other European city manages to combine ancient culture and scientific spirit as well as Vienna. It is always worth a visit and will attract many delegates to an outstanding scientific meeting.
The scientific programme is in the process of being developed and improved. The programme committee strives to cover current topics and combine them with the latest research. New session formats will be introduced as well as well-known faculty.
Special thanks go to our staff, programme committee members, local hosts and stakeholders for their knowledge, support and dedication that will make this year's event unforgettable.
With my warmest regards and gratitude,
Ahmet Alanay
EUROSPINE President 2024
Welcome to Vienna

Our meeting offers a careful blend of the latest research, practical insights, and ample opportunities for networking. The fusion of Vienna's ambient charm and the academic richness of our programme aims to provide a fulfilling experience for all attendees.
Take a moment to engage with peers, share your insights, and perhaps explore a bit of the city in between sessions. We hope you find both inspiration and valuable takeaways during your time here.
Welcome to Vienna and to EUROSPINE 2024.
