Strong voices wanted – become part of the anniversary campaign now
To mark the 50th anniversary of OTWorld, the international anniversary campaign "50 years – 50 voices" has been launched. It gives a voice to people who themselves live with medical aids – and invites them to share their personal experiences and actively support the campaign.
Join now – for the visibility of the sector
People who live with medical aids are invited to submit their story in a short video and become part of the anniversary campaign.
Everyone else can support the initiative by sharing, forwarding, and spreading the campaign – via Instagram and LinkedIn – and thus helping to raise awareness of the importance of modern orthopaedic treatment and care.
Voices that show the impact of medical aids
To kick off the campaign, three powerful voices are already sharing insights into their personal journeys: French para-athlete Sophie Loubet, who returned to sport with the help of modern medical aids after a leg amputation; Kathrin Rammin, who lives with lymphedema; and John McFall, ESA astronaut and competitive athlete with a leg amputation.
Their contributions mark the official start of the campaign and highlight the impact and value of making personal experiences visible to a wider audience.
"50 years – 50 voices" is part of OTWorld 2026, the world's largest trade event for professionals in the sector. The video contributions will be shown internationally – on the OTWorld website, during the opening event on May 19, 2026, and via OTWorld's social media channels.
Do you live with medical aids? Take this opportunity to share your perspective and become part of the OTWorld anniversary campaign in 2026. Share your experiences and reach an international audience.
All information on how to participate, the clips already published, and the detailed video guide can be found on our theme page .
Entries can be submitted until February 28, 2026.
