Anyone going?

Really need to get some @drusso hype to be interested in this. Too early to ski, Broncos are not playing in town that weekend and the Rockies were out of the playoff hunt in April.

That said, it’s close, so strong maybe for me. Are you offering rides in the Porsche to sweeten the deal?

I'm starting to feel inspired....Hold my beer a minute...🙂

IPSIS 2025 is back, baby—and it’s bringing the heat… sort of.

Live from the majestic beige carpet of a downtown Denver hotel ballroom with just enough audiovisual lag to match the energy of your favorite 1997 CME slide deck, this year’s IPSIS promises the same buttoned-up buzzkill you’ve come to know and quietly tolerate.

Introducing: THE FUSION LOUNGE (IPSIS-Style)
You’ve been to parties at ASPN. You’ve networked at NANS. But now it's time to unwind like a myotome with posterior disc herniation… at a place where fun goes to herniate quietly—where there’s no music, no alcohol, and no trace of minimally invasive charisma.

This year’s theme? “Tumescent with Rigor: Reaffirming Our Devotion to Nicolas Bogduk.”
Bring your highlighters and your copy of Clinical Anatomy of the Lumbar Spine, because the only thing hotter than an RFA probe here is the feverish worship of Lord Bogduk himself. Honestly, it’s less a conference and more a liturgical gathering—with lumbar maps instead of stained glass.

What’s On Tap (besides lukewarm hotel coffee)?

• A dazzling display of COI disclosures that last longer than some of your fellow attendees' marriages.
• Debates where the hottest topic is whether genicular RFA should be referred to as “controversial” or merely “non-superior in the latest meta-analysis.”
• Breakfast case reviews that feel more like a performance improvement plan in a dying marriage.
• The President’s Dinner (by invitation only, no plus ones, no alcohol, jackets optional but orthopedic shoes required).

Exhibitor Hall?
Let’s say you’ll have more luck finding a clean EMR interface than an actual corporate sponsor. Even the SCS reps have ghosted. Last year’s swag bag included a pen, a breath mint, and a pamphlet on Appropriate Use Criteria.

Dress Code?
Come as you are—as long as “as you are” is a 53-year-old man in pleated khakis, a conference polo, and orthopedic loafers that scream, “I do my own CPT coding.”

Scandals?
Unless Paz is publicly accusing DePalma of securities fraud again to boost Mesoblast shares (and we can only dream), the wildest thing you’ll hear is someone saying, “I actually think some of the retrospective data is meaningful.”

Networking Events That Spark Absolutely Nothing:

• “An Evening of Darts” — because nothing screams cutting-edge interventional innovation like reliving your college basement bar phase… with committee chairs.
• “ePoster Breakfasts” — where the oatmeal is lumpy, the attendance is sparse, and the posters are written in a font smaller than the needle gauge you used for your last SIJ injection.
• “EBM Journal Club (Invite Only)” — finally, a safe space where joy is left at the door and all sentences begin with “According to Cochrane…”

Why Attend IPSIS 2025?
Because sometimes, you need to be reminded what not to do with a needle. Because somewhere deep down, you still think evidence-based medicine is sexy. Because you still believe, against all odds, that a carefully moderated PowerPoint slide on “scapular kinetics” can move you.

Because, let’s be honest, if you’re already here, it’s too late.

So join us, dear friend, for IPSIS 2025: Where Lateral Recess Stenosis Meets Emotional Repression.

Leave your ego at the door, turn on your "Find Me" on your iphone to check in with the wife, and bring your lumbar disc model, your sense of existential emptiness, and your own snacks. Because this isn’t Vegas, baby—it’s Denver in September, and the closest thing to excitement is an 11-minute Q&A moderated by someone who insists on saying “neurotomy” instead of “ablation.”

You should be an author primarily and a pain doc on weekends.

Hit very close. Haven’t been to nans or aspn so have to believe you’re on point there as well

I’m sure I’ll be there for a night or two.

might be interested. If for nothing else, to meet the online people who I get into regular online arguments with in person
