The AO Trustees Meeting 2022
The AO Trustees Meeting 2022, the first fully face-to-face meeting in three years, was held in Vancouver, Canada, on June 21−23. The format was a one-and-a half-day business meeting, with a strong focus on innovation at the AO and digitalization's impact on orthopedic surgery. Addressing assembled Trustees, Past Presidents, guest speakers, and DePuy Synthes guests, AO President Florian Gebhard opened the meeting by warmly welcoming all to Vancouver, especially the new honorary Trustees and new Trustees elected since the last face-to-face Trustees Meeting in 2019. The President handed over to AO Senior Trustee Robert Meek, a Vancouver native, who introduced the social, cultural, economic, and geographical history of the city of Vancouver and British Columbia.
The AO Trustees Meeting 2022 closed with some final words from Florian Gebhard and an invitation to the AO Trustees Meeting 2023 at the same time next year in Sydney, Australia.
