Information for our Industry Partners

We invite companies at the forefront of cartilage regeneration and joint preservation to showcase their products and technologies at our biannual World Congress with an expected attendance of 1000 participants from over 60 countries.

If your expertise lies in diagnosing, rehabilitating, repairing, protecting, or regenerating cartilaginous surfaces—whether through stem cells, growth factors, PRP, bioactive composites, synthetics, scaffolds, allografts, their combinations or others —this is your opportunity to engage directly with the top professionals and key decision-makers in the field.

Join us as a Sponsor or Exhibitor to highlight your solutions and help shape the future of joint health.

For more information or assistance, please get in touch with Anneke Hibbel at ceo@cartilage.org.

Registrations for exhibitions and sponsoring are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Early registration is strongly recommended due to limited space availability.
