The British Orthodontic Society Conference (BOC) is the only UK event which brings together the entire orthodontic community. This year it takes place from Wednesday 24 to Friday 26 September. Hosted in the South West of the UK at the state-of-the art ICC in Wales for the first time, delegates can look forward to three days of thought-provoking presentations and discussion delivered by a diverse line-up of national and international experts covering a broad spectrum of progressive clinical topics related to the science and art of orthodontics.

Invited speakers who have already been announced include; Dr Bjorn Ludwig, Dr Jay Bowman, Dr Simon Littlewood, Dr Thor Henrikson, Dr Dietmar Zuran and Dr Richard Cousley. The plenary platform agenda also stars inspiring keynote presentations by the Hugh Montgomery, Professor of Intensive Care Medicine at the forefront of gene research and a Dr Sophie Scott, Cognitive Neuroscientist and a comedian to boot. It is hoped that both will be making ‘meet and greet' personal appearances during refreshment breaks.

In parallel, there will also be a practice development stream and simultaneous sessions for the Orthodontic National Group and clinic support staff. The Conference Studio Theatre will enable delegates to get up close and personal with speakers as part of interactive Q&A sessions and behind-the-scenes discussions.

The BOC is also the setting for the UK's largest-ever Orthodontic Expo Fair, featuring next-generation treatment and practice workflow technologies and services for delegates. This is coupled with an in-exhibition theatre which will play host to commercial presentations, demonstrations, product previews and clinical hints and tips. Wednesday morning will feature extended workshop sessions curated by the BOC's commercial partners on a wide range of topics.
