The international community of pedorthists is looking forward to the IVO Congress on October 24 and 25, 2024 in Fribourg, Switzerland. New scientific findings, innovations and interdisciplinary collaboration will be the focus of the congress, which will take place in one of the largest medieval cities in Switzerland.
