ASES News – September 2021
Connecting
A Special Message From The President
Like each of you, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) organization has continued to work through the challenges of the past eighteen months.
One of the toughest decisions we have had to make is delaying our 2021 Annual Meeting due to increasing coronavirus cases. This required an exhaustive search for alternative dates and many important considerations such as estimating a downturn of coronavirus cases, avoiding conflicts with concurrent educational events, and finding appropriate alternative locations.
We ultimately decided to hold the meeting December 15 – 17, 2021 in Tampa, Florida. We considered offering it virtually, however, I believe the importance of our face to face meetings is more than educational. It is also based on our need to connect.
I was recently invited to the European Shoulder and Elbow Society meeting in Poland, as your president representing our society. During the meeting I felt enormous pleasure in connecting with friends and colleagues from around the world, and was reminded of how important social connections are to our well-being. Even though the pandemic has made travel much more difficult than in the past, the emotional benefit I gained far outweighed any travel inconveniences.
The ASES annual meeting has always been my favorite. It is a great opportunity to connect with friends, colleagues, mentors and mentees. The meeting is devoted to what I am most passionate about, that I have studied and practiced with the people I most admire. I believe that as shoulder and elbow surgeons we share a common bond that nourishes us through both our triumphs and defeats.
We have planned a wonderful program for the ASES 2021 Annual Meeting. There will be a full array of educational and social opportunities. We will highlight the development of the reverse shoulder arthroplasty, we will introduce the Morrey Award for Best Research, we will have a diverse group of speakers, and the exhibit hall will feature the latest innovations from industry partners. Every evening will include social events for all attendees.
Tampa’s newly developed Water Street neighborhood is the perfect setting for the meeting. It is the home of the new University of South Florida Medical School, and it has achieved the WELL Design & Operations (“D&O”) designation under the WELL Community Standard, the first neighborhood to do so globally
ASES has had a long tradition of annual meetings since the inaugural event held in1982, led by Dr. Charles Neer. We look forward to continuing this tradition and connecting with all of you at our ASES 2021 Annual Meeting.
We are pleased to announce that the 2021 ASES Annual Meeting will be taking place December 15th – 17, 2021 at the JW Marriott in Tampa, Florida. We are currently in the process of finalizing the program, and will share details as they become available, however, we wanted to provide as much notice as possible to ensure that as many members as possible are able attend this important event!
Registration will reopen shortly. You can reserve your room now at either the JW Marriott or the adjacent Tampa Marriott by clicking here.
