Hands-on training

Workshops

Very small groups, real instruments. Pick one or two depending on your ticket type.

How it works

  • Each ticket gives you 1 or 2 workshop slots (VIP gets 2, standard tickets get 1).
  • Workshop selection opens on a fixed date after you buy your ticket. Spots are filled in real time.
  • Some workshops have requirements — a minimum year of study, or having completed BSS (Basic Surgical Skills) or KS (Knot & Suture) at a previous edition. These are checked when you book, not just printed here.
  • Once you log in to your account, only the workshops you are eligible for will appear.
