Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce that the 34th National Congress will be held at the SuSesi Hotel and Congress Center in Antalya from November 4 to 9, 2025. The legacy of the congresses, along with the increasing number of participants, sessions, and presentations, reflect not only the institutional strenght of TOTBİD family but also the strenght and competence of the whole Turkish Orthopedics and Traumatology community.

TOTBİD continues to foster education as its main mission through various platforms, and as a reflection of this, we have chosen 'Standardization in Education' as this year’s theme of the congress. We hope that this initiative will provide up-to-date information nationwide, as part of our humble effort to be able to graduate specialists qualified with current standards.

From the beginning, TOTEK the academy branch of TOTBİD, continues to work diligently for this purpose, along with all the associate societies of TOTBİD Coordination Board. Although its well-recognized achievements both in national and international arena, we believe that TOTBİD still has progress to make. With your continuous support and efforts, we are confident that this congress will mark significant steps toward achieving this objective.

As a part of our heritage and practices, this year we include the 7th Joint Physiotherapy - Orthopedics and Traumatology Symposium at the same congress venue. Continuing our past traditions and practices, we are pleased to include the 7th Joint Physiotherapy - Orthopedics and Traumatology Symposium at the same venue. We are proud to maintain our partnership with our physiotherapist colleagues within this framework. It is also our deepest honor to welcome the Hungarian Orthopedics Association and the Hungarian Traumatology Association as guest organizations, contributing to the diversity and richness of our scientific program.

We recognize that social events at congresses are as important as academic sessions, as they offer opportunities to experience, connect with, and better understand our community. We are preparing social programs that will be enjoyable, memorable, and well-received.

As proud members of the Turkish Orthopedics and Traumatology family, we look forward to meeting in Antalya with joy, enthusiasm, and shared endeavors.

Kind regards,
