OTWorld - Internationale Fachmesse und Weltkongress

The United Nations’ International Youth Day is celebrated on August 12 each year to engage the #nextgeneration in becoming more actively involved in making positive contributions to their communities. At OTWorld Leipzig, we’re all about empowering future prosthetists and orthotists, and the Youth Academy TO is at the heart of this mission. As an initiative of the Bundesinnungsverband für Orthopädie-Technik, Youth Academy TO is dedicated to the interdisciplinary development of young professionals in prosthetics and orthotics. Every two years, these young talents gather at OTWorld for the industry’s largest "family reunion" - an opportunity to learn from the best and shape the future of the O&P industry. At OTWorld 2024, over 400 young professionals from nine countries came together in Leipzig to find out about developments and trends in the industry, share experiences, network and celebrate. In addition to exploring the #tradeshow, the young professionals had the chance to take part in selected sessions at the #worldcongress and sponsor workshops. They were also able to visit the OTWorld.campus activity area and share their experiences with others at the barbecue party. We believe in the power of education and practical experience to inspire the future experts who will drive #innovation in our field. 💪✨ #OTWorld #YouthAcademyTO #InternationalYouthDay #FutureExperts #Orthopaedics #Prosthetics

Die #OTWorld2024 bot einen umfassenden Einblick in die Bereiche der #Orthopädieschuhtechnik. In den neuen Ausstellungsbereichen der #Fachmesse – OTWorld.shoe-technology und OTWorld.3D – erhielten Praktiker einen Überblick über alle Marktneuheiten und im #Weltkongress gebündeltes Fachwissen für den Versorgungsalltag im Betrieb. Der neu geschaffene Sonderausstellungsbereich spiegelte das gesamte Spektrum der Orthopädieschuhtechnik wider. Mehr als 160 Aussteller aus aller Welt stellten ihre #Produktneuheiten für Werkstatt und Handel vor: Von orthopädischen Schuhen über #Einlagen und Messsystemen bis hin zu 3D-Druck und additiver Fertigung sowie innovativen Materialien. Die vielfältigen Versorgungslösungen gaben Impulse für die tägliche Arbeit im Betrieb. Im Herzen der Sonderfläche OTWorld.shoe-technology war der Treffpunkt Orthopädieschuhtechnik die erste Anlaufstelle für alle Besucher, die mehr über das Thema sensomotorische Fußorthesen (SMFO)/sensomotorische Einlagen erfahren wollten. Dr. Annette Kerkhoff, Projektleitung vom Kompetenzzentrum Orthopädieschuhtechnik (KomZet O.S.T.): „Wir bedanken uns, dass wir auf dem Treffpunkt Orthopädieschuhtechnik in diesem Jahr das Thema sensomotorische Fußorthesen darstellen konnten. Gemeinsam mit der Studiengemeinschaft Orthopädieschuhtechnik waren wir eine Anlaufstelle für die OST. Wir konnten die Messebesucher auf der Aktionsfläche bei Präsentationen über das Thema informieren und in den Dialog eintreten.“ #OST #SMFO #sensorimotorfootorthoses #3Dprinting #orthopaedicfootweartechnology
