SHANGHAI, China: Exceeding all expectations, the third National Osteology Symposium in China welcomed about 1,900 participants to Shanghai, making it the biggest national event in the foundation’s history. Also setting new standards for future congresses was the innovative stage design. The main platform was located in the centre of the hall and allowed speakers to address the surrounding audience at 360°.

According to the organiser, Osteology Shanghai 2017 chairmen Dr Massimo Simion and Wang Xing put together an astonishing programme covering all aspects of oral tissue regeneration and providing the latest insights from research, in line with the foundation’s motto “Linking science with practice in regeneration”.

With almost 2,000 participants, the Shanghai symposium held on 20 and 21 September saw a huge leap in attendance figures compared with the 2014 event, which had 1,200 participants, and the first Chinese symposium in 2012, which took place in Xi’an and had 800 attendees.

Osteology Shanghai was the fourth national symposium held this year. The previous ones took place in June in Tokyo in Japan and Melbourne in Australia—the first Osteology meeting ever held in Australasia—and in February in Barcelona in Spain. The next and last National Osteology Symposium in 2017 will be Osteology Moscow on 21 and 22 October.
