Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are delighted to welcome you to São Pedro-São Paulo State, Brazil to the 16th International Congress of the IAOP. This is traditionally the largest gathering of oral pathologists in the world and for the first time it is
taking place in South America. The meeting is a joint congress with the 20th Brazilian Congress of Oral Medicine and Pathology. This meeting will
furthermore be a satellite meeting with the International Academy of Oral
Oncology. The objectives of the IAOP include the advancement of knowledge in all fields of oral pathology as well as the development and promotion of the practice of oral pathology. The scientific committee has worked hard to organize internationally renowned speakers to share their expertise with us through slide seminars, symposia and plenary lectures to ensure these objectives are met. Delegates are encouraged to present their own research
in either poster or oral presentation to contribute to the educational
experience. The abstracts will be published in Oral Surgery Oral Medicine
Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology.
Young Investigators might apply for Travel Awards from the IAOP to provide them with an opportunity to present their work to a diverse international
audience of their peers and international thought leaders in oral pathology
and oral medicine.
Communication among individuals of all nations should be encouraged in
pursuance of the IAOP objectives. The meeting will be held at the Hotel
Fazenda Fonte Colina Verde, an excellent venue to ensure a unique experience
for all delegates. It will provide the opportunity to strengthen old ties
and form new friendships and professional collaborations. There will be a
plenty of social and sport activities where Brazilian culture will be
experienced.
We look forward to welcoming you to São Pedro-SP for an informative,
pleasant and stimulating stay which will remain fresh in your minds for many
years.
Warmest regards,
