SIMEG Webinars and Online Conference

For ongoing discussion we initiated our new way presenting cutting edge information about sacroiliac joint surgery that is internet based. Our Board had agreed to complement our annual meetings with 1.5-hour internet conferences offered every 2nd month. They are open to SIMEG members, the SIJ surgical community, as well as representatives from industry. These spot webinars are free of charge. Contact us to receive your registration link.

Due to the COVid-19 progression the 4th international conference on sacroiliac joint surgery had been shifted to May 2021. Though there is now hope for vaccination, the actual pandemic situation also in Germany forced us to cancel the conference in Hamburg once again. We changed the modus and the ICSJS 2021 will also be held as a video conference (see below).

Lectures are pre-recorded and presented live. Each lecture includes 10 minutes presentation and 5 minutes to discuss. Medical device partners may use the opportunity to present their latest technolgy (max. 15 min. ea.) before, during and after the meeting. To receive the inviting link you need to be registered.
