The British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) has confirmed ASM Global Europe venues across the UK for three annual congresses, which will take place at Olympia Events, London in 2026, Sage ICC, Newcastle Gateshead in 2028 and P&J Live, Aberdeen in 2030.
The BOA, the professional association for trauma and orthopaedic surgeons in the UK, will gather approximately 2,000 delegates for its four-day events to discuss the latest advancements, research, and innovations in orthopaedic surgery.
Opening in 2026, the new Olympia Conference Centre will sit alongside the venue’s exhibition spaces, and will include a large auditorium, 14 meeting rooms, 2,000sqm of flexible space and a private restaurant and bar.
The BOA Congress is expected to bring significant economic impact to The Sage ICC, Newcastle Gateshead, also opening in 2026. The new £300m complex will include more than 5,700sqm of flexible exhibition and banqueting space, a 900-seat auditorium, plus 17 conference and meeting spaces.
Charlie Silva, head of events and fundraising at the BOA said: “Our decision to partner with ASM was greatly influenced by their unique ability to offer a diverse range of venues across the UK, perfectly suited to our needs.”
ASM Global Europe’s head of sales, associations, Steve Daun added: “The choice by the BOA to use our venues between now and 2030 is a real accolade for not just the wider organisation but also the individual venues and their teams. This partnership underscores the importance of a collaborative approach, utilising the strengths of our entire portfolio to deliver outstanding experiences.”
