We are confident that the scientific programme we are working on will offer stimulating insights and foster engaging discussions. This programme will feature a wide variety of session formats, including keynote lectures from leading experts across the globe, dynamic debates on the latest controversies and interactive presentations.

As the largest annual meeting in Europe for all those dedicated to shoulder and elbow care, the SECEC Congress will provide a platform for lively exchange, innovation, and collaboration.
Rotterdam, with its rich history of innovation and architecture, is not only an inspiring backdrop for a medical congress but also one of Europe’s most accessible cities. It can be easily reached by train or via Schiphol Airport, just a short train ride away.

The SECEC congress will be held in the iconic deDoelen Congress Center, originally a concert hall from the 1960s known for its striking mid- century architecture. Located in the heart of the city, deDoelen offers a unique atmosphere, making the congress feel like a night out in the lively city center.

We are eager to welcome you to Rotterdam and look forward to a memorable and enriching congress!

With warm regards,
Tjarco Alta
