The web was invented and introduced by CERN in Geneva to facilitate scientific exchange around the world--and the model works great, progress is faster than ever. The rapidly changing field of orthopedics will this year see the first virtual conference using a 3D environment to exchange new techniques and technologies. The event called “Orthopaedic Virtual Convention” will be held live and online Sept 23-27, 2013.
The groundbreaking web based event is the only such virtual symposium in Orthopedics and is set to feature a rich program of scientists presenting online the latest clinical and technological trends in orthopaedics during 5 days.
Dr. Antonio Castellvi, from the “Florida Orthopaedic Institute,” heads OVC’s Scientific Board. “What attracted me to the OVC platform,” says Dr. Castellvi, “is its ability to reach tens of thousands of people in the US and around the globe, in the comfort of their home, practice, or company, while sharing important scientific data, in a fully interactive environment, using their smartphones, tablets or computers.” He adds, “There is no doubt in my mind that this is the future of scientific communication; a borderless space of freedom in which the scientific community can interact freely, with no artificial limitations. Done well, it will positively impact orthopaedic surgery, helping patients from the richest parts of the world to the most challenged ones.”
In addition to the scientific program and its 30 daily clinical and technological presentations, OVC also gives manufacturers, inventors, distributors and even investors the opportunity to rent a branded customized virtual 3D booth, similar to existing big (and expensive) conventions.
Vivien Poujade, founder and CEO states, “The beauty of the OVC platform is its cost-effectiveness. Indeed, the Scientific Program is 100% free for all presenters as well as all attendees. The 'Exhibition Area' of the convention is also 100% free to all 'Visitors.' Only 'Exhibitors' are asked to make a minimal contribution for the rental of their customized booth. I personally believe that access to scientific data and business opportunities should be accessible to anyone, no matter their location or economic status. This is our goal!”
