Side events
The AO is celebrating the spirit of Davos through a number of side events. These are designed to foster friendships among the AO Davos Courses participants, and to offer fun, social occasions alongside the courses' academic program.
Additional side events include the SHARD, RIMASYS' mobile operating theater that allows participants to observe a range of live surgeries. Numerous SHARD sessions are available for participants to view either in person or available on the AO TV platform.
