Join Us in San Diego, California for the 20th International Congress on Early Onset Scoliosis and the Growing Spine!

November 11-13, 2026

This year the 20th International Congress will meet in sunny San Diego! ICEOS is the world's leading conference addressing complex spinal disorders in the growing child. Known for its highly interactive and collegial atmosphere, the meeting will attract approximately 200 surgeons and allied health professionals from around the world.

Celebrate at the 20th Anniversary Gala, Friday, November 13

As we mark twenty years of mission-driven service, we have a rare opportunity to do even more for children with spinal deformities. Join us on the evening of November 13, immediately following ICEOS, for a celebratory gala honoring the progress we've made and the future we're building together.

Please note, separate registration from ICEOS is required.

The Pediatric Spine Foundation leads the way in research, education, and family support for children with spinal deformities, and we're not slowing down. PSF has identified clear opportunities for growth in patient care, research, and education, and those needs drive us to sustain and expand our mission. The success of this gala will directly fuel that growth, helping us reach countless more children and families. Many of these children we will never meet, but their smiles and triumphs will be a reflection of your extraordinary compassion and support.
