Annual Meeting Orientation

Build-A-Hand Volunteer Project

Experience the power of collaboration and a deep sense of purpose as we come together to change lives. In this project, you'll have the opportunity to build prosthetic hands that will make a profound impact on amputees in developing countries affected by land mines and other accidents. With over 70,000 hands already delivered and fitted in +90 countries, this program has truly made a difference.

Connect with familiar faces and forge new friendships while making a lasting change. Your unique talents and abilities will shine as you transform 30 pieces of metal and plastic into a life-changing device. This hands-on experience will leave an indelible mark on your memory.

Hurry, as space is limited to just 60 volunteers who will undoubtedly feel a sense of fulfillment for being part of this global cause.

Don't miss this remarkable opportunity on Monday, during the afternoon Refreshment Break and Exhibit Hall Reception. There are 30 positions available for each shift.

Please RSVP by the June 20, 2023. Kindly note that the maximum capacity for this opportunity is 60 (30 in each slot).

We are excited to have you involved in our volunteer activity; we have a capacity of 60 invitees. Once we reach this maximum number of confirmations, please note that we will no longer be able to accept additional participants. Therefore, we highly recommend early sign-up to secure your spot at the event.
