Aloha!

We invite you to the Hawaii Orthopaedic Association’s 37th Annual Combined Orthopaedic Spring Symposium on April 14-15, 2023 at the Prince Waikiki.  The 2-day symposium is targeted to orthopaedic surgeons, residents, medical students and allied health professionals.  Historically, there were 80-100 participants who have attended and our hope is to be able to have as many participants this year at this in-person symposium and are looking forward to seeing everyone again. 

Exhibits from orthopaedic and other medical companies are an integral part of the symposium. We hope you will participate and display your products or services to our orthopaedic surgeons and allied health professionals.  Click here for the conference prospectus.
