The North American Spine Society has fostered the growth of innovation in spinal care for many years. The sections have been the fertile ground upon which many important new concepts in spinal care have developed. Now, NASS prepares to make a bold step by creating a special NASS Innovation Nexus meeting in 2025 that will permit a focused group of innovators, start-up businesses, and spinal care providers to interact and generate ideas for the future. There will be a host of topics, including MIS technology, biologics, robotics, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence. Applying these new technologies to traditional disciplines within spine care—tumor, deformity, cervical, and lumbar degenerative diseases will create a host of new opportunities to improve care. NASS has always designed and supported spine meetings to present the latest scientific data and practice guidelines, as well as providing a venue for networking amongst spine professionals and creating the environment for industry to connect with spine care practitioners. This Nexus meeting brings the focus on startups and innovation and creates the environment for both innovators and spine professionals to determine how to solve real world problems together. In many ways, NASS aims to create even more collaboration in the name of improving spinal care. One of the important things that we do as an organization is our emphasis on education. In our more traditional way, NASS has focused on the dissemination of peer-reviewed work to the membership. We now plan to connect start up entrepreneurs, Venture Capitalists (VCs), market analysts, business experts and spine professionals to explore possibilities for future innovation and progress and to create a roadmap to further investigation, and, ultimately, implementation. We have superb leaders at NASS. First and foremost, our CEO, Eric Muehlbauer and our Sections Chair, Michael Fehlings, along with Zori Buser and Donna Ohnmeiss (our Innovation Section chairs) are some of the major collaborators for the first NASS Innovations Nexus meeting in 2025. Michael Wang has also worked hard to showcase the incredible innovative work done by industry and how this can be shared with NASS members. And, of course, behind their leadership is an enormous army of NASS staff and physician volunteers who stand united behind the goal of improving spinal care through innovation. NASS today is the largest organization of spine care professionals in the world. We have much to do and with our Innovation Nexus 2025 meeting, we are getting closer to creating an ideal world where innovation, compassion, and medical care all come together to create solutions for spine care. I am excited about this upcoming meeting in 2025 and I know all of you will benefit from this special event.
