BOA Annual Congress 2025 Gala Dinner
Celebrate, Connect, and Be Inspired
We are thrilled to announce the much-anticipated return of the British Orthopaedic Association Gala Dinner—an exceptional evening dedicated to celebrating professional excellence, fostering meaningful connections, and inspiring future progress.
Hosted in the beautiful Palm Court Room of the Municipal Hotel & Spa Liverpool, this distinguished event offers you an evening of unparalleled networking opportunities, thought-provoking discussions and a chance to celebrate amazing achievements within the profession.
Following the prestigious BOA Awards, the legendary John Barnes MBE will be our after-dinner speaker. Widely regarded as one of England’s greatest players and a Liverpool icon, John will take the stage for an exclusive fireside chat with Steve Horthersall, an award winning Broadcaster and presenter on Liverpool FC's dedicated channel LFCTV, sharing unforgettable stories from his extraordinary football career. Expect humour, insight, behind-the-scenes moments—and your chance to ask questions during a live Q&A.
A special highlight of the night will be a charity auction, of a one-of-a-kind item from John’s playing era, generously donated by the man himself. All proceeds will support Joint Action, the orthopaedic research appeal of the BOA, funding ground-breaking research into musculoskeletal disorders and advancing treatments that restore mobility, independence, and quality of life.
