Poster abstract submissions for World Congress are now open. Previous World Congresses have featured more than 2,200 poster abstracts, and with new virtual presentation options for this World Congress, we anticipate an increase in poster presentations. If you are interested in sharing your research with more than 7,000 multidisciplinary delegates from around the world, visit our Poster Abstracts page to submit.

For individuals who would like to attend the 2022 World Congress but may have limited resources, financial aid will be opening soon. IASP offers financial aid to assist those wanting to participate in the world’s largest global gathering of pain professionals. Candidates applying for financial aid should submit their poster abstract before submitting their financial aid application.

Despite the challenges caused by COVID-19, IASP still expects that World Congress will bring together, in-person and online, more than 7,000 of the world’s researchers, scientists, and clinicians devoted to scientific excellence. The 2022 World Congress on Pain will offer attendees engaging refresher courses, interactive exhibitions, hands on workshops, and cadaver labs to enhance professional skills and engage in the latest pain research. I am thrilled with how the 2022 World Congress is coming together and excited by the many surprises yet to come. Join the World Congress Facebook group for more insight into everything World Congress, and I will see you all in Toronto.

Sincerely,
