This year's annual conference of AO Trauma Switzerland was organized by Prof. Hans-Christoph Pape and Prof. Andreas Platz at the University Hospital in Zurich.

The board decided to open the conference with the general assembly on Thursday evening, followed by dinner in order to facilitate participation for members.

Numerous members of AO Trauma Switzerland gathered on Thursday for the administrative meeting in Zurich. There was lively discussion, not least because the statutes also had to be amended, but a good consensus was always found. It should be noted that two new honorary members were elected: Claudio Gubser, who has done invaluable work as secretary for our association for many years, and Prof. Reto Babst, who has shaped AO Trauma Switzerland and the AO Foundation with his ideas and initiatives and still does.

The dinner at the Sento restaurant was a wonderful opportunity to exchange ideas and news with one another while enjoying the best food and wine. The restaurant staff even put in an extra shift for us, thank you very much!

On Friday we were allowed to deal with scientific and practical topics related to geriatric traumatology. The program was very varied and, in addition to interactive case studies, also included new findings from basic research. The discussions were lively and showed that not all the secrets surrounding this promising topic have been revealed. Thanks are also due to all the speakers for their excellent presentations!
