Please use the registration form to join the ISAPS World Congress 2024, Cartagena.

Delegate participation in this event is open to Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons, residents in a recognized plastic surgery training program, or ISAPS affiliates (office staff of ISAPS Members) only. ISAPS members can sign up their team members - nurses, assistants, managers and other non-surgeons you work with - for ISAPS Affiliate status. If you are not an ISAPS Member, you will be asked to upload proof of your certification or residency. Documents and final approval of registration and participation will be done by the ISAPS National Secretaries of the delegate’s country or by the ISAPS Membership Chair. Any delegates that fail to produce a satisfactory document will be automatically cancelled and refunded according to the cancellation policy (see paragraph on cancellation of registration). A 20% administrative fee will be retained from all refunds except for visa denials. 

Participation in this event is open to non-plastic faculty by invitation only and must be arranged beforehand with the ISAPS Scientific Committee.
