The ORS 2027 Annual Meeting runs Friday 19 February to Tuesday 23 February 2027 at Moscone West in San Francisco. The meeting covers five days and the exhibition covers three of them.
The Day Clock
Exhibitor move-in runs Friday 19 February from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The hall opens at 9:30 AM on Saturday and at 10:00 AM on Sunday and Monday. The society leaves every closing time as TBD and labels the exhibit schedule tentative.
Move-out runs Monday 22 February from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. The meeting continues into Tuesday.
Sessions Run 90 Minutes
Workshops and symposia are published as 90-minute sessions. The workshop categories are the Scientific Workshop, the Science and Technology Workshop run with an industry partner, and the Crosstalk Workshop. The symposia put the audience into a dialogue on a research question.
Workshop rules ask for up to two organizers from different institutions and at least three speakers. Organizers must hold ORS membership, and one non-member speaker is allowed per workshop. The general abstract call closed on 31 August. The late-breaking call runs from 12 October to 9 November.
Children on the Trip
The Explore San Francisco panel carries a one-page childcare sheet. The sheet names five providers: Golden Gate Nannies, Care.com, Nanny Lane, Sitter City and Urban Sitter. ORS states that it cannot endorse any childcare professional and supplies the list for information only. The file dates to July 2026.
Where the Rooms Are
ORS publishes no 2027 room block, and the 2027 meeting pages carry no hotel or lodging entry. The Moscone Center FAQ states that more than 20,000 hotel rooms sit within walking distance of the center, and that the center does not rent rooms on an individual basis. The venue's event page puts the city at 34,000 hotel rooms and more than two-thirds of them within walking distance. San Francisco Travel Association books all events at the center.
The Exhibition Floor
Exhibitors staff the hall from 20 to 22 February. The society puts the audience at approximately 2,300 orthopaedic researchers, and two evening poster and exhibit receptions run inside the three days.

ORS 2028 runs 11 to 15 February 2028 at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans. ORS 2029 runs 2 to 6 February 2029 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.
