A celebration of surgery, shaped by you


We are bringing together surgeons and surgical teams for a first-of-its-kind UK festival dedicated to the future of surgery. A space for connection, inspiration, and collaboration, our vision is to unite the best and brightest minds from all career stages and specialties because your questions, insights and experiences will help shape the conversations that matter most. And meaningful change happens when we come together.

More than an event. With over 25 hours of high-quality curated content to choose from and many opportunities to meet peers and collaborate in facilitated sessions, you’ll be able to design your own programme. Whether it’s hearing from thought leaders and trailblazers, accessing practical advice and support, or being newly inspired, this is your opportunity to explore what’s important to you and to contribute to the future of the profession.

If that’s not enough, you’ll also be able to explore the latest technology, soak up the atmosphere and come away feeling energised by this celebration of surgery and the people, like you, who shape it.
