It is our pleasure to welcome all of you to New Delhi for the 25th Annual Conference of Association of Spine Surgeons of India (ASSICON 2012).The celebrations for Silver Jubilee of ASSI commenced with the Annual Conference at Mumbai and culminate with the Silver Jubilee Conference at New Delhi.

In keeping with the special occasion, the Scientific program will be different from that of previous ASSICONs with multiple prestigious international and national societies like Scoliosis Research Society (SRS), International Society for Study of Lumbar Spine (ISSLS), International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS), World Society for Endoscopic Navigated & Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery (WENMISS), International Group for Advancement in Spinal Science (IGASS) and Neurological Society of India (NSI) participating in the conference and conducting sessions during the conference. The conference thus promises to be an academic feast. We hope that the social and cultural events will help in establishing bondages and linkages amongst the fraternity.

Delhi is a tourist’s paradise with many heritage sites. The climate in February is very pleasant. The hospitality of the city is well known and we are sure that you will surely witness it while participating in the conference.

We are grateful to Association of Spine Surgeons of India for giving us an opportunity to host the conference. We extend a warm welcome to all of you. We assure you that we will strive to live up to your expectations.
