Past Recent Symposia Information

There were over 400 attendees at the 2022 Symposium in Orlando. To see who exhibited see the booth layout from the 2022 Symposium.

As we all experienced unprecedented disruptions during 2020, HMS was forced to cancel the 2020 Biennial Movable Bridge Symposium. While it was certainly not a replacement for our in-person event, we did offer a Virtual Symposium which allowed members to view presentations and receive PDH credits. These presentations are still available to HMS Members.
