BioSpine 9

International Congress on Biotechnologies for Spinal Surgery
Innovation, Exchange and Visions for Spinal Medicine

Advanced Science Forum
May 20–22, 2026 | Berlin, Langenbeck–Virchow–Haus

Cancellation Notice

Dear partners and friends of spinal medicine,

when we launched the International Congress for Biotechnologies in Spinal Surgery – BioSpine – in 2002, our goal was clear: to bring the most promising biotechnologies out of the lab and into clinical use. Since then, BioSpine has grown into a dynamic, interdisciplinary community where spine surgeons, scientists, engineers and MedTech leaders come together to rethink spinal care.

BioSpine 2026 was originally planned to take place in Berlin as a global platform for exchange, innovation and collaboration. Over three days, participants were expected to explore the latest advances in regenerative therapies, AI-supported robotics and smart implant technologies through high-level symposia, rapid-fire sessions and interactive discussions connecting research and clinical application.

Unfortunately, we must inform you that BioSpine 2026 – Advanced Science Forum has been cancelled after careful consideration and in close consultation with the scientific leadership.

This decision was made due to the currently very tense geopolitical situation and the resulting uncertainties affecting international travel and participation. As BioSpine is designed as a highly international meeting with speakers and participants travelling from many regions of the world, we concluded that a reliable and well-planned international event could not be ensured under the present circumstances.

We sincerely regret this development and would like to thank all speakers, partners, sponsors and participants for their support and commitment to BioSpine.

We remain convinced of the importance of this platform and hope to welcome the international spine community again at a future BioSpine meeting.

Yours sincerely,

Hans Jörg Meisel, MD, PhD
