Spine Conferences & Courses

Powered byNSpine

Every dated spine congress and course we track, November 2026 to December 2027, in one calendar: international, subspecialty and national congresses, plus hands-on, cadaver and masterclass courses run by societies, academies, hospitals and education companies. Each entry links to the organiser, the programme and the sponsor prospectus where published. For who the societies are, see the World Spine Societies registry.

Checked 2 November 2026. A green chip means the dates are published by the organiser; amber means they come only from an events aggregator and still need confirming. Prospectus links marked "2026 edition" are last year's document, shown as a guide until the new one appears.

Red-shaded entries are NSpine meetings. Spinal Frontiers is published by NSpine; all other organisers are listed on the same terms, in date order, with no ranking.

Congresses with a programme for the spine team

These spine meetings run a dedicated nursing, theatre or allied-health stream alongside the surgical programme.

  • British Scoliosis Society (BSS) Annual Conference (BSS 2026, Nottingham, 18–20 November 2026): Allied Health Professional and Conservative Care programmes (described by the society as an Allied Health Professionals and Nurses Day) on Wednesday 18 November, with BSIN (intraoperative neurophysiology) and NPSAN meetings hosted alongside.
  • North American Spine Society (NASS) Annual Meeting (NASS 2026, San Antonio, 14–17 October 2026): New half-day Advanced Practice Practitioner (APP) course for nurse practitioners and physician assistants on clinical decision-making in complex spine cases; no separate nursing, physiotherapy or ORP track named.
  • EUROSPINE (Gothenburg 2026, Barcelona 2027): the meeting pages show no dedicated allied stream.
  • Deutsche Wirbelsäulengesellschaft (DWG) Jahrestagung (21st DWG congress, Nuremberg, 9–11 December 2026): The scientific-programme page promises an extensive programme for nursing and therapy staff, but no session titles are listed; the workshop list includes a hands-on positioning and set-up workshop (Lagerungsworkshop, Junges Forum, 11 Dec) that suits theatre staff.

Before you rely on this list

  • Programmes are mostly not out yet. Most 2027 programmes appear three to six months before the meeting. "Not yet" means the organiser hasn't posted it; the link goes to the closest page, usually the abstract call.
  • Busy weeks. 6–7 May 2027 has CSRS-Europe (Porto) and LSRS (Chicago) on the same days. Mid-May runs straight from SICV&GIS Naples into SpineWeek Montréal. CSRS-AP Tokyo and the Global Spine Congress in Yokohama are one week apart in June. In January, the St. Anton forum (14–16 Jan) sits just before Arosa (18–20 Jan).
  • Courses are a selection. Courses are scattered and rarely listed centrally. We include society, academy, hospital and independent courses; product training run by implant manufacturers is left out. Tell us about any we have missed.
  • Prospectuses change. Several 2027 sponsor packs are on request only, and some published PDFs carry leftover dates from the previous year. Treat prices and packages as indicative until the organiser confirms.
Compiled from organisers' websites and, where marked, events aggregators, 2 November 2026. Dates and venues can change; always check the organiser's site before booking. Corrections: tell the Spinal Frontiers editorial team.
