For this 21th Edition of the WCO-IOF-ESCEO Congress which will take place in London from August 26 to August 29, 2021, the members of the Committee of Scientific Advisors of the IOF and the members of the Scientific Advisory Board of ESCEO are developing a very exciting Congress’ scientific programme that will bring together the world’s best in the field of musculoskeletal health and disease.

Past Edition: 2020 - Virtual

The 1st Virtual WCO-IOF-ESCEO was and still is a huge success!

As you know, the 20th edition of the WCO-IOF-ESCEO has been organized on a very different basis than the precedent editions. Nevertheless, the Scientific Committee is more than thrilled to announce that this Virtual Congress is a tremendous success, which will remain open for 3 months!

In order to offer you the best possible experience, all efforts were made to maintain the initial programme as planned, as well as the usual features of the face-to-face WCO. Altogether, 1600 scientific contributions were gathered, including:

  • 10 Plenary Lectures
  • 14 Meet-the-Expert Sessions
  • 07 Satellite Sponsored Symposia
  • 40 Oral Communications
  • 20 Oral Poster Presentations
  • 11 Oral Communications selected for the CNS Special Plenary Session
  • 29 Non-Sponsored Symposia
  • 41 Virtual Booths

You are now able to visualize all these sessions on the congress platform during a period of 3 months!

We would like to warmly thank each of the 7900+ delegates who already took part in this online gathering and who are enabling the congress to remain the world largest event in the field of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, frailty and sarcopenia.
