Soon you will be able to access the program details that consist of seven symposia and one session on education featuring world renowned speakers who are experts in their field. Reflecting the G20 submit, the theme for SPINE20 2022 is “Spine Care: Work Together to Recover Stronger”.

In this Meeting Guide, you will find useful information such as program details, chairperson and speakers’ profiles, guides for visiting Bali and how to register SPINE20, 2022 provides several options for participants, including virtual attendance. Bali, however, is almost back to normal and more than ready to welcome visitors in person. Please check the latest information on visa on arrival, as well as a very simple guide on travelling to Bali, which is available in the General Information section on the SPINE20 website; www.spine20.org. We are enthusiastic about meeting in person and want to assure you that the congress venue, hotels, and public facilities in Bali are fully implementing all health and safety protocols.

To warmly welcome all SPINE20 delegates, the organizing committee has planned a networking Cultural Dinner on the evening of August 4th. Dinner tickets can be purchased for a minimal charge on the registration page. We assure you that this will be a memorable evening to strengthen our friendship and collaboration. 

SPINE20 is a global effort to improve spine care by recommending policies in G20 countries and beyond to alleviate the burden of spine disease through various means, such as stimulating better spine health, advancing spine research, enhancing spine innovation pathways, and improving spine care and treatments through policies and government support. These efforts will provide significant benefits for spine patients around the globe. We are committed to achieving this mission.

The Indonesian Spine Society and the Indonesia spine community together with the government of the Republic Indonesia are working hand in hand preparing to make this happen. The success of the 2022 G20 and SPINE20 meetings is our top priority.
