Welcome to the 52nd Annual VOS Conference!

We are so excited to be back at the Beaver Run Resort & Conference Center for this year’s VOS Conference. The VOS board has planned an exciting week of learning, socializing and, of course, skiing and winter activities that we trust will make this year’s conference memorable.

As always, this year’s scientific program will consist of abstracts submitted by attendees, as well as “State of the Industry” presentations from our Platinum and Gold Level sponsors.

This year's Jacques Jenny Lecturer is Prof. Dr. med. Yves Harder, Head and Medical Director, Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale (EOC) of Lugano, Switzerland. Prof. Harder has dedicated a large part of his career to reconstructive surgery, with a focus on micro-surgery for the lower extremity including lymphatic and orthoplastic surgery. Prof. Harder’s lectures will be centered on the different aspects of soft tissue envelope management in the context of orthopedic trauma. He will be speaking Sunday through Wednesday nights at 6:00PM.

As previously mentioned, This year's conference will feature several different social events throughout the week. These include:

  • Welcome Reception / Registration (Saturday evening)
