Every two years, professionals dedicated to supporting persons in need of prosthetics, orthotics, wheelchairs, assistive devices, rehabilitation engineering and related subjects get together at the I.S.P.O.

After recent editions in South Africa in 2017, Japan in 2019 and Mexico in 2023, the 20th edition of the global gathering will be held in the capital of Sweden.
