The 13th World Congress of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO) will be taking place from May 10-15, 2010 and two days later on May 12 the largest international trade show, ORTHOPÄDIE + REHA-TECHNIK, will be opening up in Leipzig. No other event features a comparable overview for orthopaedic technicians, orthopaedic shoe technicians, rehabilitative technicians, specialist suppliers, therapists and physicians. More than 550 exhibitors from 40 countries and 19,000 visitors from 85 countries are expected to join the congress and the expo.

Numerous forums, lectures and workshops will serve the further training of German trade visitors. The forums will focus on specific topics such as lymphology, rehabilitation for children, podiatry, and also business issues such as marketing and distribution. New developments, types of therapy and practical tips will be addressed at workshops. Information on the economic and political situations of the markets in Europe and North America will be available at the marketplaces while forums and the exhibition itself will showcase new products and the latest research findings.
