Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,
We are pleased to invite you to APCSS 2026, which will take place from 6–8 November 2026 at the Istanbul Naval Museum in Istanbul, Türkiye.
APCSS 2026 will combine the 19th Annual Conference of the Asia Pacific Cervical Spine Society (APCSS) with the 1st Annual Conference of the International Spine Society (ISS), organized in collaboration with the WFNS – Spine Committee.
The Asia Pacific Cervical Spine Society brings together spine surgeons and healthcare professionals with a particular focus on cervical spine disorders, aiming to promote high standards in patient care, research, and education across the Asia-Pacific region. Over time, APCSS meetings have become well-established scientific forums, attracting leading experts and colleagues from around the world.
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Istanbul, a city that uniquely blends history with contemporary science. The scientific program of APCSS 2026 will feature keynote lectures, focused sessions, interactive discussions, and presentations showcasing current research, clinical practice, and technological developments in cervical and spinal surgery.
Alongside the scientific sessions, participants will also have the opportunity to experience Istanbul’s rich cultural heritage and to build meaningful professional and social connections.
We warmly invite you to be part of this international meeting and look forward to welcoming you to APCSS 2026 in Istanbul.
Warm regards,
