Disaster conference at OTWorld 2026: Learning from mistakes – submit treatment cases now!
The programme committee is developing a new and deliberately unusual format for the OTWorld 2026 World Congress (19–22 May in Leipzig): the Disaster Conference. The focus will be on treatment cases that have taken an unexpected turn – and precisely because of this offer valuable insights for practical care.
We are looking for real-life examples from the fields of orthotics, prosthetics and wheelchair provision that did not go as planned. The aim is to learn from such situations and, in particular, to give young professionals practical access to valuable experience and knowledge.
In keeping with the motto: ‘It's good to celebrate success, but it's more important to learn from failure’ (Bill Gates).
Would you like to contribute your own case study? The programme committee is accepting proposals for this special session from the fields of technology, medicine and therapy until 30 August 2025 at congress@ot-world.com.
