Congress Programme 2026 – Your Knowledge Makes the Difference
2026 is a special year – we are celebrating 50 years of OTWorld: five decades of innovation, professional exchange and hands-on interdisciplinary collaboration under the professional partnership of the German Association of Orthopaedic Technology.
In this anniversary year, you can look forward to a celebration of knowledge and personal exchange across the entire treatment team. Meet your colleagues from prosthetics and orthotics, orthopaedic footwear technology, medicine and physiotherapy at the world’s largest gathering for prosthetics and orthotics.
The programme is curated by the 30-member programme and workshop committee, chaired by Congress Presidents Dr Doris Maier (BG Trauma Clinic Murnau) and Dipl.-OTM Thomas Münch (Münch & Hahn).
Look forward to a programme that opens up new perspectives – with progress taking centre stage.
Focus Topics in the Programme: Visible, Tangible, Pervasive
OTWorld 2026 places clear thematic emphasis on three key areas: integrative treatment, rehabilitation and education. Symposia focusing on education and rehabilitation are clearly labelled in the programme using the respective keywords, making them easy to identify.
The focus on integrative treatment is different: it runs like a common thread throughout the congress programme – often not immediately visible, but conceptually present in the majority of sessions.
At OTWorld 2026, the World Congress will take a special look at interprofessional collaboration between physicians, prosthetists and orthotists, orthopaedic footwear professionals and physiotherapists. At its heart are dialogue, shared learning, and a holistic view of the individual – essential elements reflected in almost every symposium.
