Program Director John M. Flynn, MD
Dear Colleagues: ICEOS is back! I’m delighted that we’re planning for an in-person Annual Meeting this year. The meeting will be held in Salt Lake City, UT from November 10–12, 2021. I’m immensely looking forward to both reconnecting with friends and colleagues, and to an excellent program.
Since its inception 15 years ago, the ICEOS Annual Meeting has emerged as the world’s leading conference addressing early onset spinal deformities. This year’s meeting will build on that legacy with an engaging program of free papers, expert lectures, panel discussions, and workshops. Highlights will include:
> New this year: Wednesday afternoon Special Session— The Role of VBT to Treat Growing Spine Deformities
> Masters Tips and Techniques in EOS Care
> EOS: State of the Art Care 2021
Please take a moment to look at the full program (pages 5–8) and the Call for Abstracts (page 3).
The meeting will be further enhanced by being situated in Salt Lake City; a great city set amidst beautiful surroundings. Local Host, Dr. John Smith, will help direct all of us to experience the best of the city and region.
As always, my favorite part of the meeting will be connecting with colleagues from around the world. I hope you’ll join us again this year; you’ll be missed if you’re not there!
Best regards,
Jack Flynn, MD ANNUAL MEETING PROGRAM DIRECTOR
