We are excited and honoured to invite you “down under” for the XXVII IFSO World Congress in 2024.
Set in the lands of traditional owners – the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin, Melbourne is a thriving modern city known for its laneways and cafes, vibrant entertainment and arts scene, sporting events and eclectic multicultural melting pot creating a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere in the worlds “most liveable city”.

The theme for the congress is “Integration” – the integration of science and art of surgery, of technology and technique, of bench research and clinical care, of patient experience and shifting treatment goals with emerging therapies and integrated multidisciplinary care. We are excited to highlight program features of thought provoking plenaries and bring focus to interdisciplinary sessions with our integrated health providers. Together we will Integrate what we have understood from the past, the best of the now and what the future will bring from every direction.

We look forward to hosting you with Melbourne’s traditional warm hospitality and gateway to discover Australia.

Congress Presidents
Ahmad Aly & Harry Frydenberg
