LONDON, England: The European Aligner Society (EAS) has confirmed that its sixth congress will be held from 22 to 24 May 2025 on the Greek island of Rhodes. Bringing together world-renowned clear aligner experts, the event promises to be a pivotal gathering for clinicians seeking to advance their skills in and understanding of aligner orthodontics. This announcement follows EAS’s successful 2023 congress in Valencia in Spain, which attracted over 1,000 delegates from 69 countries.

The congress will take place at the Rodos Palace hotel, close to the historic medieval old town of Rhodes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rhodes, the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, is known for its ancient landmarks, charming towns and beautiful beaches, making it an ideal location for both learning and relaxation.

Under the theme “The future of aligner orthodontics”, the event will feature plenary lectures and workshops led by leading experts in aligner orthodontics and digital dentistry. Building on past success, the EAS education committee has organised parallel sessions tailored for practice teams. These sessions will cover topics such as clinical advancements, business skills and well-being and are designed to enhance the professional development of all attendees.

The programme will run from Thursday to Saturday and allow participants ample opportunity to explore Rhodes during and after the congress. Evening networking events are planned to foster connections among delegates and provide opportunities to exchange experiential insights.

Dental professionals interested in attending the event can explore the full programme online. Registration for the event is now open at www.eas-aligners.com.
