The International Post-Acute Wound Care Society & Tissue Repair Summit 2025 spans two days (November 13–14, 2025), with a welcome event the evening of Tuesday, November 12. The comprehensive program is structured into three dedicated tracks, offering a focused perspective on tissue repair, ensuring that attendees gain deep insights into their areas of interest. Sessions run in parallel across these tracks, and all participants are free to move between them - allowing you to tailor your summit experience by choosing the talks and workshops most relevant to your practice.

Program Overview

Three dedicated tracks

  • Track 1 - Tissue Repair Evidence: Focuses on breakthrough research and clinical evidence in tissue repair, highlighting cutting-edge findings from recent trials (e.g. advances in cellular and acellular therapies)

  • Track 2 - Post-Acute & Mobile Wound Care: Explores innovations in post-acute wound management and mobile wound care, addressing new challenges and emerging care models in this rapidly growing sector

  • Track 3 - Main Auditorium (Plenary Sessions): Features all-encompassing sessions relevant to all wound care professionals—acute and post-acute clinicians, researchers, industry, and academics. These plenary talks and panels cover broad topics like regulatory preparedness, publishing real-world evidence, intelligent therapy selection, and professional collaboration
