What's New at AAOS 2027
Built From Your Feedback
The AAOS Annual Meeting is evolving, guided by what you told us matters most.
After recent Annual Meetings, feedback was clear. You want more value, less time away from practice, and easier access to high-impact education. AAOS listened and made four meaningful changes.

ICLs Included with Registration
You asked for fewer add-ons and more education included. This change delivers immediate value and easier access to the sessions you rely on.

Shorter Sessions and Smarter Scheduling
One-hour, streamlined ICLs eliminates overlap and makes it easier to attend the education you want most. The result? More chances to learn, a smoother schedule, and dedicated Exhibit Hall time.

A More Focused Annual Meeting
Most attendees told us three to four days is the sweet spot. We’ve streamlined the meeting, so you get more impact in less time.

A Practice-Friendly Wednesday Start
This schedule better reflects clinical and travel demands while preserving opportunities for education and networking. It also minimizes time away from the OR or clinic before traveling to Las Vegas.
