EFAS Lyon 2021 - Hybrid Annual Meeting

October 21-22-23 - Combined Face to Face and Virtual Meeting

01 October 2021

The EFAS Congress Lyon 2021 will be the first hybrid congress from the European Foot and Ankle Society.

EFAS hopes BOFAS members and others will join them in person for 3 amazing days of congress, to meet each other and exchange ideas, but in the current climate going abroad might still be difficult. EFAS would therefore like to extend the opportunity for all to be part of the congress by going HYBRID for the first time.
