2026 Winter Spine Symposium

The 8th annual Winter Spine Symposium will be held March 6-8, 2026 in Mammoth Lakes, CA.

We’re excited to share that our meeting location has moved to the nearby Limelight Hotel! This brand new  venue gives us a little extra room to grow as our event continues to expand each year. The Limelight is a beautiful, newly built property that’s centrally located—just a short walk from the Village at Mammoth.

...

 Dr. Michael Dorsi and Dr. Patrick Buchanan will be the course directors. 

Dr. Joel Beckett will be the Dr. Wes Hsu Keynote Speaker

Our goal is to bring leaders from the fields of interventional pain management and spine surgery together with our industry partners to discuss best practices in stimulation for the treatment of pain.  This comprehensive course will consist of case-based, moderated discussions with active audience participation. 

 We come together to cross specialty and corporate boundaries and form new relationships to improve the care we can provide for patients. This is an open forum that encourages discussion focused on current options and emerging technologies for the management of patients suffering from painful conditions of the nervous system.
