Welcome Message

I invite you to attend the 7^th International Orthodontic Congress to be held in Sydney in February 2010. This Congress, hosted by the World Federation of Orthodontists, is only held once every five years and brings together the "best of the best" from all over the world.

We will have a truly international and comprehensive programme for doctors with 40 major and 120 supporting speakers of outstanding quality. In addition there will be a complete programme for clinical, front desk and support staff, as well as for orthodontic technicians. Workshops, panel discussions and competitions will make the staff programme particularly interesting and a lot of fun. There will be a very large industry exhibition hosting companies from all over the world. This Congress promises to be unlike any other that you have ever attended, in a world?class purpose built convention and exhibition centre, right on beautiful Sydney harbour.

Sydney is a spectacular and cosmopolitan city with its wonderful harbour, beautiful beaches and relaxed, friendly and fun loving people. It has excellent shopping with both internationally renowned shops and local markets within walking distance from your city hotel. With its multicultural background there are world class restaurants to suit every taste, from five star fine dining to al fresco on the harbour or beachside. Sydney is consistently voted one of the world's 10 most liveable cities - come and see for yourself why. Anyone who has visited Australia will tell you it is one of their best adventures ever.

There is also a lot to do and see outside Sydney. Within a few hours drive there are endless beaches, mountains, seaside villages, national parks and more. A few hours flight from Sydney and you will be at the famous Great Barrier Reef, the red centre with Ayers Rock and unique desert landscapes, world heritage rainforests or the lush green countryside of Tasmania and New Zealand.

Look at our website and learn more about the Congress, for registration, to organise travel and accommodation, as well as for pre- and post- congress tours. We are determined that this will be a congress and holiday that you will not ever forget. Come join us for an outstanding week of education and enjoyment.
