Dear friends and colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 45th EPOS Annual Meeting in Istanbul, 7-9 April 2027. As the Local Host, I am truly honoured and excited to welcome the EPOS family to Türkiye and to a city where Europe and Asia meet a city that has connected cultures, people and ideas for centuries.
EPOS meetings have always been much more than outstanding scientific gatherings. They are occasions where knowledge is shared, collaborations are created, and friendships are strengthened. We hope that EPOS 2027 will continue this spirit, bringing together colleagues from around the world for meaningful scientific exchange, inspiring discussions and new collaborations.
I would also like to invite you to experience the unique atmosphere of Istanbul, its rich history, culture and cuisine, together with the warm Turkish hospitality that we are proud to share with our guests. As we say in Türkiye, “a cup of coffee shared with a friend is remembered for forty years.” We hope you will have the opportunity to share a Turkish coffee with us and create some unforgettable memories along the way.
On behalf of the entire Turkish paediatric orthopaedic community, it is our great honour to welcome you to Istanbul. We look forward to sharing science, friendship and unforgettable moments with you at EPOS 2027.
Warm regards.
