As we gather to celebrate the 100-year Centenary of our Annual Scientific Meeting, we warmly invite you to join us as a valued partner in this landmark event.

Our centenary theme, Evolution Through Necessity, reflects the journey over the past century and it also looks forward to the next 100 years of surgery. Progress has often been born from challenge, with necessity driving innovation, collaboration, and advances that have transformed patient care. Today, that evolution continues, fuelled by emerging technologies, research, education, and the strong partnerships between clinicians and industry.

This meeting will bring together surgeons and trainees from across the specialties of Cardiothoracic Surgery, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Paediatric Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Urology, and Vascular Surgery. It provides a unique opportunity to engage with a highly influential audience of clinical leaders, educators, researchers, and future specialists.

Our industry partners are integral to the continued evolution of surgical practice. Your support enables the delivery of an outstanding scientific programme while providing opportunities to showcase innovations, foster meaningful conversations, and strengthen relationships with those shaping the future of surgery.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, thank you for considering your support. We look forward to welcoming you as we celebrate our history, embrace today's innovations, and inspire the next century of surgical excellence.
