JPNI 17th Annual Symposium: Current Techniques in the Treatment of Cranial and Spinal Disorders

After a turbulent 2020, this year’s 17^th Annual Current Techniques in the Treatment of Cranial and Spinal Disorders Symposium was once again be held in person on Saturday, October 30th, 2021 at the Omni Interlocken Resort in Broomfield, CO. We had an amazing turn out both with our sponsors and our attendees. It was great to see everyone in person again and we look forward to doing so again in 2022. The 18th Annual symposium date is yet to be finalized but when it has been we will send out a notification!
