international federation for the surgery of obesity and metabolic disorders - ifso2022. first of all, we would like to thank you all very much for your continuous support and participation in ifsos activities throughout its been a very tough period for all of us. the covid-19 pandemic has challenged our lives in each and every aspect, but the vaccine has as you know, last year we were forced to postpone the xxv ifso world congress to october 2021 with the hope that all our members would have been able to attend and that we could all get together again.  this hope, unfortunately, hasnt become a reality yet, but the good news is that travel restrictions to the usa from most of the countries will be dropped towards the end of 2021 and in some cases in early 2022.  so in order to give all our members the chance to attend, the ifso leadership has decided to move the congress to 23-27 august 2022. all the future ifso congresses will be moved accordingly, so the xxvi ifso congress will be held in 2023 in italy.  this was not at all an easy decision, because we were all looking forward to meeting each other again in person, after two long and but we really feel we have to give all our members the same opportunity. it wouldnt be a real ifso congress without members from the program stays as it is and it will be even more interesting: asmbs will participate with us with its two tracks, wof and wgo will have their two sessions within our program, ifso lac will organize their sessions, in spanish and portuguese. in one word: ifso will remain the biggest appointment for anyone working in the field of obesity surgery, and we dont want to leave anyone out!! all accepted abstracts will be presented at the congress next year and published in obesity surgery journal in 2022. if you want to withdraw as for the registration, you can lock in your registration for 2022 at the same registration fees you paid this year. no action is required if you would like to lock in this rate, the local organizing secretariat will simply keep your registration intact.
