The section meetings of the German Society for Neurosurgery (DGNC) are among the most important specialist events in the German-speaking world. They bring together the latest knowledge, promote interdisciplinary exchange, and provide impetus for the further development of neurosurgery. These events are a valuable barometer for future developments, especially for decision-makers in hospital management and experienced specialists and executives. These conferences are also gaining strategic importance from a recruiting perspective.
Neurosurgery is currently undergoing dynamic change. On the one hand, technological innovations such as robot-assisted procedures, intraoperative imaging, and functional mapping technologies are opening up new therapeutic possibilities. On the other hand, structural challenges in everyday clinical practice are becoming more acute. Staff shortages, increasing documentation and quality assurance requirements, and growing economic pressure are forcing many departments to address fundamental strategic issues.
In addition, demographic changes are having a lasting impact on the healthcare landscape. Hospitals are under pressure to communicate both their medical excellence and their attractiveness as employers in a convincing manner.
The DGNC section meetings offer an annual platform that brings together scientific progress, clinical practice, and the promotion of young talent. Key topics such as spinal surgery, functional neurosurgery, and vascular techniques are not only examined from a theoretical perspective, but also discussed in terms of their practical relevance.
The conferences provide managers in medical institutions with important insights into the strategic positioning of their own departments. Those who are familiar with the research priorities presented can assess development trends at an early stage and invest in specific skills. Issues such as interdisciplinary collaboration and translational research are also becoming increasingly important. This is an aspect that many applicants now actively demand.
The DGNC section meetings offer qualified specialists, senior physicians, and scientists the opportunity to present their own projects, exchange ideas with leading experts, and position themselves in a targeted manner. Due to their high level of technical expertise, the events are particularly valuable for those who wish to combine their careers with scientific depth and clinical relevance.
Experience shows that personal attendance at specialist events is increasingly perceived as a distinguishing feature. Those who actively participate in discussions, give presentations, or submit poster contributions send clear signals regarding their commitment and development potential. For applicants in management positions, this can make all the difference.
The DGNC section conference offers HR managers and headhunters specific opportunities to identify talent and cultivate their network. In contrast to traditional career fairs, the focus here is on professional exchange. The environment is particularly well suited for gaining authentic insights into personalities and skill profiles.
For years, BESTMINDS has observed that candidates who are visible in this environment are exceptionally well prepared for demanding leadership roles. At the same time, more and more clinics are using the conference to present themselves as innovative employers. They do this, for example, by supporting doctoral projects, offering targeted training opportunities, or participating in study consortia.
The DGNC Section Meeting is much more than just a forum for scientific exchange. It is a key driver of developments in neurosurgery and a stage for medical excellence. Here, executives gain insights into upcoming trends and can align their personnel strategy accordingly. Applicants have the opportunity to showcase their professional expertise, commitment, and development potential.
Recommendation for hospital management: Use the DGNC section meeting as a strategic tool for staff retention and positioning in the competition for skilled workers.
Recommendation for applicants: Be present, actively network, and present your skills in the form of presentations or poster contributions.
