CAMP '26 Conference
CAMP '26 is SpineCAMP's second annual think tank, November 13-14, 2026 at the Virgin Hotels Dallas. It brings together clinicians, engineers, AI researchers, and medico-legal professionals who believe the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and evolving imaging technology can materially advance the science of spine care. 
SUMMARY DETAILS:
Registration is $199 per attendee - pay with button below after completing "Register Now" above.   Registration covers onsite group meals and entertainment. Travel and hotel are covered by attendees at a discounted room block rate.  SpineCAMP will handle all room reservations once registration and payment are confirmed. Plan to arrive Thursday afternoon, November 12, and depart after 2:00 PM on Saturday, November 14. Seats are limited, and first come first serve - registration will close when all seats are full.
At A Glance
CAMP '26 runs a day and a half of sessions built around a single question: how do clinicians, engineers, and AI researchers actually put technology to work in spine care right now. Friday is the full general session, covering AI in medicolegal documentation, advanced imaging workflow for PI, and correlating x-ray with MRI findings, with a medical examiner and legal team panel in the mix. Saturday morning moves into breakouts on cross-discipline practice and applications beyond PI. Evenings are built for interactions and the conversations that happen between sessions.
