Join us for the ORS 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place March 27–31, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the Charlotte Convention Center. This five-day event will bring the orthopaedic community together for scientific education, workshops, networking, exhibits, poster sessions, and more.

This year’s theme, inspired by Charlotte’s enthusiastic racing community, is “Driving Research to Fuel Discovery.” Whether you are early in your career or a seasoned expert, you will find inspiration, collaboration, and innovation at every turn.

Stay up to date with important meeting information with the latest ORS 2026 Newsletter.

Wear Your White Sneakers on Sunday, March 29 at the ORS 2026 Annual Meeting!

In recognition of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research White Sneakers Campaign, we invite attendees to lace up and take a step toward stronger musculoskeletal health.

Every step taken in white sneakers stands for:

  • Advancing orthopaedic research
  • Championing musculoskeletal health

Support orthopaedic health, because stronger movement builds stronger futures.
