Cooperation with Expert Committees for OTWorld

Panel discussion at OT-World with seven experts on stage, their conversation displayed on a large screen, surrounded by OT-World banners.

Comprehensive know-how from companies and a regular exchange with industry representatives ensure a practical and up-to-date offer for all participants of OTWorld.

Numerous experienced experts from retail surgical stores, from hospitals and rehabilitation centers, the industry, associations, research institutes, universities and service providers advise and support the ongoing development of OTWorld. The committees meet on a regular basis with the organisers of OTWorld so that important advice and new ideas can directly be applied to the concept of OTWorld.

PROGRAMME AND WORKSHOP COMMITTEE

The members of the programme and workshop committee represent both trade and academic organisations. Hence, the composition of the committee corresponds to the guiding principle of an interdisciplinary event.
