NASS 2025: Take a Sneak Peek at a Bold, New Meeting
Join us for a first look at our most elevated meeting in 40 years!
For the first time in NASS’ 40-year history, our Annual Meeting will follow a Friday–Sunday schedule. The meeting kicks off on Friday, November 14, with a full day of the latest in spine research and ends with our all-new Kick-Off Party. The Presidential Assembly, NASS Awards, and the International Symposium highlight Saturday. The meeting concludes with Sunday Brunch after a morning of sessions including a Joint Symposium with ORS on Sunday, November 16.
NASS 2025 is shaping up to be the most dynamic, engaging, and novel meeting in our history. This year, we received a record-breaking number of abstract submissions, solidifying NASS as the premier forum for comprehensive spine research and education. More submissions mean more cutting-edge discoveries, innovative techniques, and breakthrough findings to advance spine care.
Known for its mountain views, vibrant culture, incredible craft beer and dining scenes, as well as its walkable downtown, Denver offers the perfect backdrop for this year’s meeting. Attendees can expect new experiences, engaging networking events, and fresh perspectives as we take over the Colorado Convention Center.
What's New in 2025?
In addition to record-breaking research submissions, a revamped meeting structure, and the Kick-off Party, NASS 2025 will introduce several new initiatives designed to make this an unforgettable meeting:
iPosters: Replacing our long-running ePosters, these highly interactive digital presentations will feature videos, graphs, and supplementary resources, along with discussion stations to encourage conversations between attendees and presenters.
Emerging Scholars’ Showcase: A vibrant new space featuring themed zones, RapidFire iPoster presentations, Discussion Lounges, refreshments, and a casual networking atmosphere.
Spine & Spirits: A relaxed tasting event where attendees can unwind, network, and enjoy great company.
Expanded Presidential Reception: This can’t-miss event returns bigger and better than ever. With a limited number of tickets available, attendees can expect an unforgettable evening that celebrates the past 40 years of accomplishments and provides an opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the world.
Sunday Brunch: After the general session ends on Sunday, join your friends and colleagues for brunch in the Technical Exhibition!
Pickleball: After you’ve finished engaging in hands-on learning, stop by the pickleball court for a round or two on the Technical Exhibition floor.
With record engagement from the outset, a fresh format, and exciting new initiatives, NASS 2025 promises to be a must-attend event for all members of the spine community. Stay tuned to SpineLine, NASS Insider, the Preliminary Program, Annual Meeting website, and our socials for more details on the full program in the coming months.
