30 years of leadership and credibility.

Welcome to the ITI World Symposium 2010.

As one of the biggest events in the implant dentistry calendar, the ITI World Symposium justly enjoys an excellent reputation thanks to its tradition of focusing on cutting-edge issues and providing clinicians with solid information as well as the opportunity for discussion with opinion leaders from all over the world.

The upcoming ITI World Symposium –  taking place in Geneva from April 15 to 17, 2010 – promises to fulfill expectations for an incisive and challenging scientific program coupled with a strong practice-oriented approach. 2010 is a special year for the ITI as we will be celebrating our 30th birthday.

As an independent, multidisciplinary academic organization, the ITI has grown from a small group of visionary pioneers in implant dentistry to a leading, international organization with more than 6,000 Fellows and Members and national Sections in 24 countries. The ITI's mission: "to promote and disseminate knowledge on all aspects of implant dentistry and related tissue regeneration" lays particular emphasis on education to ensure that practitioners are able to deliver optimal treatment to their patients. Throughout its 30 years, the ITI has led the way in implant dentistry, taking scientific rigor as its touchstone and this pervades every aspect of its professional activities, including its many publications and events. Our 2010 Symposium motto reflects this history: ‘30 years of leadership and credibility.‘

The faculty for the World Symposium is made up of leading thinkers and opinion leaders in the field of implant dentistry from all over the world and their presence promises much informative, lively debate and incisive discussion.

A beautiful and historic city in the heart of Europe, Geneva is the ideal location for the ITI World Symposium. This choice was based on the excellent infrastructure offered by the Palexpo conference center, which will provide the best possible conditions for both participants and exhibitors.

Our carefully balanced scientific program as well as the newly introduced pre-symposium courses and the program of social activities available ensure that the ITI World Symposium 2010 is the implant dentistry event of 2010 and one that should not be missed under any circumstances.
