WELCOME 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ISHA
Dear Colleagues The 2018 Annual ISHA Scientific Meeting will be held in Melbourne, Australia from October 4-6. It will also be the first meeting of the newly changed ISHA, which will officially include open hip preservation surgery into our name and open hip preservation surgeons into our great fellowship of friends. This will be the 10th Anniversary Meeting of ISHA, and we are planning some special events to mark this achievement and will review the last 10 years of the four key hip pathologies and their main structures in various concurrent and parallel sessions. The program will incorporate interactive virtual hip surgery training sessions available throughout the conference, and we look forward to hearing the latest from our partners in industry through the trade exhibition and the industry-led lunchtime workshop sessions. With the geographical proximity of Asia we will also devote half a day to an Asian Society meeting on Wednesday 3rd October 2018. Friday 5th October 2017 will also have a dedicated physiotherapist programme. Melbourne is Australia’s second largest city, and is the birthplace of hip arthroscopy in Australia and remains the hip arthroscopy capital of the country. The city offers a multitude of possibilities for cultural and sporting visits pre and post conference, as well as interesting itineraries for accompanying partners. It is a very safe city, with excellent public transport, making it very easy to visit the many attractions on offer. Melbourne is also easily reached by air, with many airlines having direct flights to Melbourne International Airport, and many others connecting via Sydney. The Conference will be held in the newly extended, state of the art, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, which benefits from two linked hotels. We look forward to you joining us in Melbourne for this vintage “ISHA 2018”.
