Welcome to the Front Row Seat
to the Future of the Spinal Implant Industry:

The 2nd Annual Spine Technology Summit

The fastest growing sector in orthopedics is also the fastest changing. Last year, the venue to see the companies whose products and technologies are transforming spine care was the 1st Annual Spine Technology Summit, hosted by RRY Publications LLC, and held just days before the SAS6 meeting in Montreal. As those who attended remember, attendance and participation was spectacular. It is not too early to reserve a spot for the 2nd Annual Spine Technology Summit—also being held in prior to SAS7.

The Spine Technology Summit is designed to open up a vast new region of therapeutic treatment to investors, industry, practitioners, and analysts. Learn about the opportunities, the risks, the rewards, and how these will dramatically expand the continuum of care for 30 million back pain patients. STS Berlin features companies and surgeons with unparalleled exposure and access to the technology of spine care.

Date: April 30, 2007
Location: Berlin, Germany – The Berlin Marriot Hotel
Expected attendance: 200+

Last year the Spine Technology Summit was the pep rally before SAS6. For all those attendees, the Spine Technology Summit offered a front row seat to the future of spine technology.
