New this year!

Windy City Welcome Reception

Saturday, October 4 | 7:00–9:00 pm

All Clinical Congress attendees and their families are invited to join us during our new Saturday evening Welcome Reception. This event will blend Chicago’s renowned cuisine, vibrant culture, and stunning skyline with a celebration of the House of Surgery. It’s a perfect opportunity for surgeons in all disciplines to come together, enjoy camaraderie, and celebrate surgical excellence.

The new Welcome Reception combines the Saturday President’s Reception and Taste of the City, previously held on Tuesday.

Registration is not required for the Welcome Reception.
