Join us for a light breakfast hosted by our Headline Sponsor. Start your day by networking with peers in an informal setting while enjoying breakfast before the morning sessions begin

Kick off the day with a welcome symposium sponsored by our Headline Sponsor. This session will set the stage for the program ahead and provide opening remarks to begin the morning

Speaker: New Innovation Sponsored Session

Adequate tissue oxygenation is fundamental to wound healing, influencing cellular metabolism, angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and host defense. This talk explores oxygenation as a key, quantifiable indicator of wound viability and healing potential. It will review the physiological role of oxygen in acute and chronic wounds, mechanisms underlying hypoxia-driven impaired healing, and the relationship between oxygenation, perfusion, and inflammation. Emerging tools for assessing tissue oxygenation—including transcutaneous oxygen measurements, near-infrared spectroscopy, and other optical technologies—will be discussed with an emphasis on clinical applicability. 

Speaker: New Innovation Sponsored Session

Advances in imaging and physiologic monitoring now allow for objective, quantitative assessment of tissue perfusion in both acute and chronic wounds. This talk examines perfusion as a measurable biomarker of wound health and healing potential. The presentation will highlight contemporary methods for perfusion assessment, including laser Doppler imaging, hyperspectral imaging, and emerging noninvasive technologies, with emphasis on their strengths, limitations, and appropriate clinical contexts. 

Speaker: New Innovation Sponsored Session

Recent advances in optical and molecular technologies offer new opportunities to detect, localize, and characterize bacterial burden in wounds with greater speed and precision. 

This session explores emerging tools that “illuminate” infection by enabling real-time or near–real-time bacterial identification. Optical imaging modalities, fluorescence-based detection, and molecular diagnostics will be reviewed, with attention to their mechanisms of action, accuracy, and practical integration into clinical workflows. The strengths and limitations of these technologies will be discussed.

Speaker: Dr. Lynnette Morrison

This session focuses on empowering clinicians to confidently explore limbsalvage options before committing to amputation. Through practical frameworks, casebased insights and multidisciplinary perspectives, the talk highlights when limb preservation may be viable, how to balance urgency with opportunity, and how to advocate for patients in complex decisionmaking moments. Attendees will leave with strengthened clinical judgment, clearer escalation pathways and greater confidence in challenging amputation when salvage is still achievable. 

Speaker: Dr. Walaya Methodius-Rayford and Dr. Brett Chatman

This session explores limb salvage as an emerging, distinct discipline within tissue repair. As advances expand what is possible, limb salvage is evolving beyond a procedure into a specialised, multidisciplinary field. The talk will outline the skills, systems and collaborative models needed to build this specialty, highlighting how early intervention, coordinated care and innovative reconstruction can transform outcomes for patients at risk of limb loss. 

Speaker: Dr. Windy Cole

This session demonstrates the roles and contributions of diverse specialists—from wound care clinicians and vascular surgeons to podiatrists, rehabilitation experts, and more—in coordinated decision-making. Evidence and real-world strategies for effective communication, shared care pathways, and optimized interventions across disciplines will be discussed, empowering attendees to strengthen collaboration in their own practices.
