As we all know, cartilage injury and arthritis continue to take its toll on millions of patients throughout each of our countries. Therefore, we must boldly move forward in scientific discovery and clinical treatments for cartilage repair and joint preservation.

We look forward to welcoming all of you to Sitges for the 17th ICRS World Congress from September 9-12, 2023. We-Wael Kafienah and Aaron Krych- are the Co-chairs of the Scientific Program Committee, and together with our committee members, are planning a scientific program that will energize our current members, welcome new colleagues, and help to define the pathway forward. We have chosen the theme of the meeting to be “Time for Action: Advancing the Science and Treatments for Cartilage and Joint Preservation” to recognize the critical need and urgency for progress in our field.

In this World Congress, the Plenary sessions will be used to frame broad concepts and strategies. These will be immediately paired with more focused topic-based content in the special break-out sessions to further the deliberation. Based on your feedback, we have extended time for discussion, with audience participation and panels of experts. We will continue to maintain the foundation of ICRS World Congress meetings with abstract presentations organized within highlighted topics, morning workshops on basic and advanced skills in clinic and research, poster sessions and industry exhibition, and lunch spotlights. The Opening Ceremony hosted by the ICRS Executive Board, the ICRS Awards Ceremony, ICRS Welcome Cocktail, and NexGen Social will provide the best opportunities to meet with peers of the ICRS family to continue growing together and strengthening our mission.
