2026 President's Welcome

Mark your calendars for a truly unforgettable summer gathering! The 90th Annual Meeting of the WOA will be held at the iconic Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from July 29 to August 1, 2026. Nestled at the foot of the Rockies, this legendary resort offers the ideal setting for colleagues, families, and friends to come together and enjoy the best of Colorado in the summertime.

From hiking scenic mountain trails, fly fishing in crystal-clear streams, golfing on championship courses exploring Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, there are endless opportunities for adventure. Or, simply unwind by the lake and soak in the breathtaking views.

Our scientific program, co-chaired by Dr. Luke Nicholson and Dr. Nicholas Alfonso, promises to be a dynamic showcase of the latest advances across all orthopaedic subspecialties while leaving ample time to enjoy the mountain air with your family. We are honored to welcome Dr. Valerae Lewis as our distinguished Presidential Guest Speaker and Aron Ralston, acclaimed mountaineer, author, and subject of the film 127 Hours, as the Howard Steel Lecturer.

We look forward to celebrating this milestone meeting with you in the heart of the Rockies and as part of our 90th meeting celebration we would encourage all of you to invite an orthopedic colleague so they too can experience the best the WOA has to offer.

See you at the Broadmoor!

Cynthia M. Kelly, MD
WOA President
