This month, IASP continues its planning to ensure the 2022 World Congress on Pain is the most dynamic and exciting to date. Whether you are returning to an in-person World Congress in Toronto, attending virtually, or if this is your first World Congress, we welcome you to participate in the largest gathering of pain professionals in the world.
IASP just announced the exciting list of plenary speakers and award lecturers for World Congress.

This year’s event will feature an exciting array of speakers and panels covering a diverse range of pain disciplines from the world’s top pain scientists and leaders.
Now is the time to submit your poster abstract and share your research with more than 7,000 multidisciplinary delegates from across the globe. Poster abstracts submitted by the early submission deadline of 11 March are automatically entered to receive one of ten free World Congress registrations. Additionally, the first 1,000 accepted submissions will win an IASP Press book of their choice from the IASP expo booth at World Congress. The final poster abstract submission deadline is 18 March.
If you are attending World Congress from a developing country or as a trainee, we encourage you to apply for financial aid. Selected financial aid recipients will receive free registration and financial support to help cover traveling expenses to Toronto from their home country. IASP has extended the application deadline to 18 March to accommodate more of our members.
I look forward to seeing all of you at World Congress in Toronto.
