We, the members of Spine Association of Gujarat, whole heartedly welcome all of you for a very interesting and thought provoking Conference. We have decided on "Controversies to Complications in Spine Surgery" as the theme of the Conference; so as to have an open exchange of scientific information, which otherwise is not openly discussed at sucha conclave. We have invited a host of International Faculty as well as dynamic Niational Faculty to participate actively in the conference, and provide an insight into controversial topics as well as discuss ways and means to avoid complications.

Ahmedabad is the first city of India to have achieved the "UNESCO World Heritage City" tag in 2017. There are a number of heritage sites to be visited in and around Ahmedabad. The Conference coincides with the famous Kite Flying Festival of "Makersakranti", and the mild chills of Ahmedabad winters, are worthy of an experience.

We, once again, extend our invitation to all; and promise an enlightening scientific extravaganza.
