ROCKS PROGRAM

MEETING DESCRIPTION

The 2nd Annual Robotic Orthopaedic Concepts & Knowledge Symposium (ROCKS) being held August 15-16, 2025 at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland in Cleveland, Ohio, is a cutting-edge event designed to ROCK the field of arthroplasty by bringing together experts and enthusiasts in robotic and associated orthopaedic technologies inclusive of manufacturers, joint reconstruction surgeons, insurers and healthcare administrators.

The meeting features a world-class faculty of thought-leaders presenting a focused program of contemporary hip, knee and shoulder joint pathologies where robotic-assisted arthroplasty provides an effective reconstructive solution assuring optimal patient outcomes.  

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

ROCKS will:

  • Foster an innovative learning program for orthopaedic surgeons, trainees, insurers and healthcare administrators. 
  • Provide insight from contemporary thought-leaders on the use of robotic and associated orthopaedic technologies in adult hip, knee and shoulder joint reconstruction.
  • Expose meeting participants to contemporary robotic and associated orthopaedic technologies through hands-on demonstrations in the Exhibit Area and Bioskills Training Sessions.
  • Engage meeting participants with the faculty experts through didactic sessions and Exhibit Area food functions.
  • Promote networking opportunities for the implementation of robots in healthcare system facilities.
  • Deliver a unique, single-setting exposure that promotes assessment of the clinical, business and logistical aspects of integrating robotic technologies into an arthroplasty practice and their impact on optimizing patient outcomes.

BIOSKILLS TRAINING SESSIONS

With ROCKS being a cutting-edge event designed to ROCK the field of arthroplasty, corporate-sponsored, surgeon-led, 1.5-hour Bioskills Training Sessions have dedicated times on both meeting days. These small group settings provide ROCKS participants hands-on exposure and training on the latest robotic and associated orthopaedic technologies in hip, knee and shoulder arthroplasty.

Corporate In-Booth Robotic Demonstrations

Throughout the ROCKS program, corporate sponsors will be assigned dedicated times to demonstrate how their robotic and associated orthopaedic technologies address a presenting hip, knee or shoulder pathology where arthroplasty is the treatment of choice. These unique opportunities provide ROCKS participants simultaneous interaction with surgeon users and corporate representatives to create a collaborative environment and promote constructive exchanges in the Exhibit Area.
