AMSTERDAM, Netherlands: With an entertaining mix of performance and pageantry, the ninth edition of EuroPerio was officially opened on Wednesday at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre. A visually arresting dance performance and laser light show befitting the host city’s exuberant nature kicked things off, and a surprising twist gave attendees a memorable story to relay.
In keeping with EuroPerio9’s emphasis on providing something new for attendees, the opening dance sequence distinguished this ceremony from any other. After the initial dancers had performed, a single figure clad in a black bodysuit and fedora took to centre stage, moving energetically and in unison with a projected-light silhouette. As a booming voice asked the audience to welcome Dr Michèle Reners, chair of the EuroPerio9 organising committee, the dancer stepped out of the bodysuit to reveal that it had been Reners herself. To thunderous applause, she welcomed attendees and shared with them the long journey to Amsterdam, a journey made possible by a talented team. Praising the presenters the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) had attracted to EuroPerio9, she stated, “The secret to success is quality speakers.”
Prof. Iain Chapple, Secretary General of the EFP, spoke to the crowd next and spoke of how EuroPerio has continued to grow since its early days. “We are happy to welcome more than 10,000 attendees to EuroPerio9,” he said, declaring it to be a record turnout for the event.
In addition to Reners and Chapple, EFP President Prof. Anton Sculean addressed visitors to the conference, as did several other members of the EFP Executive Committee.
After this round of introductions, the full and associate member societies of the EFP were invited onstage to parade their national flags in front of the audience. Each nation was warmly greeted, with especially loud cheers heard for Italy, Spain and the host country, the Netherlands.
With 134 expert speakers and 308 moderated abstract and poster presentations scheduled over the four days of EuroPerio9, there is plenty of opportunity for visitors to hear about the latest information regarding the fields of periodontics and dental implantology. In addition, many of the industry’s leading companies are present and showcasing their dental solutions at the event.
