Welcome

This gathering is built around a single, powerful idea: it’s Time and it’s the place for the rising stars to share the spotlight with the Masters. Young surgeons will present their concepts, research, and novel surgical applications side by side with internationally recognized masters who will offer instruction, critical perspective, and mentorship. That intentional pairing ensures every session is both a learning laboratory and a launching pad — a place where technique, evidence, and professional formation converge.

The relationship we envision between emerging clinicians and master teachers is collaborative, demanding, and generous. Masters will not only demonstrate advanced approaches but will model mentorship, ethical decisionmaking, and the disciplined curiosity that sustains lifelong excellence. Young presenters will bring fresh hypotheses, rapidcycle innovation, and clinical questions that challenge established practice, creating a dynamic exchange that advances the specialty for patients and professionals alike.

Madrid was chosen for its unique combination of culture, accessibility, and worldclass clinical and academic resources. The city’s vibrant intellectual life, rich medical history, and warm hospitality create an ideal environment for intense learning, meaningful networking, and memorable cultural experiences. We invite you to immerse yourself in sessions designed for practical impact, in conversations that will shape careers, and in the friendships that will sustain international collaboration for years to come.

Join us in Madrid to witness and to shape a pivotal moment for our specialty. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your readiness to both teach and to learn. Together we will strengthen the pipeline of surgical excellence and build a global community where talent is nurtured, knowledge is shared, and patient outcomes are elevated.
