We are delighted to invite you to attend the 28th International Annual Congress of the World Muscle Society that will take place 3rd – 7th October 2023, in Charleston, South Carolina, United States.

The congress venue is the Charleston Convention Center at 5001 Coliseum Drive, it is part of the Coliseum, Performing Arts Center, and Convention Center campus and is the Lowcountry’s premier destination for entertainment and education.

We will also be making the presentations and e-posters available via our platform and app for delegates who wish to attend virtually. We are working hard to ensure that the registration process is as flexible as possible as we continue to navigate these ever changing and uncertain times.

Charleston is an historic colonial town with a vibrant culture, complex history, and idyllic coastal location. Charleston International Airport is South Carolina’s largest airport and has numerous daily connections to major cities across the USA.

This is a great location for our US based community to welcome other international attendees. Please review the current information regarding travel to the United States which is available on our Information section of the Congress website prior to planning your travel. As always, the health and safety of our community is of the utmost importance to us.
