"The ATiO gathering has finally brought together the right stakeholders to bring innovation from the bench to the bedside. We need more initiatives like this and I can’t wait to contribute to the next efforts of this vibrant and diverse community of professionals in the regenerative medicine theatre."

- Prof. Dr. Lorenzo Moroni, FYAE, Director, MERLN

"This inaugural ATiO meeting was a sensational start for a new organization aimed at pushing the frontier of biologics in a highly collaborative intimate setting of leaders in our field. I look forward to acting on some of the many important ideas presented."

- Scott Bruder PhD, CEO & Founder, Bruder Consulting & Venture Group

"The ATIO Conference was a pleasure to attend with contributions ranging from key opinion leaders to pitches from start ups with unique solutions. Furthermore, clinical cases that allowed us to see where current treatment stands as well as revealing the next generation of biomaterials, devices and cell therapies make this a unique forum."

- Aylvin Dias PhD, Principal Scientist, dsm-firmenich

"It was wonderful to see the diverse stakeholders meaningfully engaged in constructive dialogue. It is highly unusual to have an environment where industry and academia can converse so freely and constructively."

- Prof. David Hunter PhD, Florance and Cope Chair of Rheumatology, University of Sydney

"It was a superb departure from conventional meetings, brining together academics, clinicians, bio tech companies, investors, and entrepreneurs in a dynamic, interactive format. I was especially impressed by the breadth of topics and the concise, impactful presentations, which encouraged clarity and engagement. The plenary sessions fostered meaningful interactions at every turn. Since my last attendance four years ago, it's remarkable how the conference has evolved with significantly increased participation by industry and start-ups. I eagerly anticipate future ATiO meetings and contributing to the ongoing growth and innovation of this exceptional communty"

“An absolute eye-opener when it comes to understanding the extent to which regenerative medicine has come in the past decade. We are truly on the task of a revolution and the application of biological solutions to chronic diseases and infection in orthopedics. A must attend event if you’re lucky enough to be invited.”

- Prof. Stefano A. Bini, M.D., Maria Manetti Shrem Endowed Professor, Chief Technology Officer, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of California San Francisco (UCSF); Founder and Chair, UCSF Digital Orthopedics Conference (DOCSF); Founder and President, Personalized Arthroplasty Society (PAS)
