Dear Colleague, The SMISS Annual Forum is the only major meeting focused entirely on minimally invasive spine surgery. Other meetings may dedicate a session or two to MISS, but at the SMISS Annual Forum minimally invasive spine surgery is front and center. If you already use MISS techniques in your practice, or want to add them to your tool box, there is no better meeting for you to attend. This year’s Forum will be held in Las Vegas, September 6-8, 2018. The focus will be on Cases and Controversies, providing practical insights based on real-world experience, and audience interaction. Multiple concurrent sessions will also allow you to catch up on the research updates of most interest to you. Young surgeons, fellows, and residents will benefit from special sessions to present their research. Our optional cadaveric lab will sell out early, especially the endoscopic track, so don’t delay making your plans. Last year’s SMISS Forum received superb reviews. We hope you’ll join us in 2018 for the #1 meeting in MISS! Sincerely, Gregory M. Mundis, Jr., MD; Paul Park, MD; and Sheeraz Qureshi, MD, Course Co-Chairmen
