Between October 16 and 18, 2024, at the ICC, Centenary Square, there will be a line-up of hugely respected speakers from the UK and around the world—many of whom are speaking at BOC for the first time. For 2024, the format of the BOC has been reinvented to ensure it continues to be the orthodontic event in the calendar for all dental professionals with an interest in orthodontics.
The essential main programme will cover the widest clinical topics, including digital advancements and aligners. Invited speakers include:
- Kevin Fong - anaesthetist, broadcaster, AI in health expert and Royal Institution Lecturer
- Christina Pagel – a professor in the clinical operational research unit at UCL, vice president of UK Operational Research Society
- Carlos Flores Mir
- Benedict Wilmes
- Waddah Sabouni
Tim Newton will deliver the Northcroft memorial lecture, and there are wide-ranging parallel sessions on developing private practice, cleft, and orthodontics for those considering a career. There is also a well-devised programme for orthodontic therapists, TCOs, and nurses.
The exhibition space has been reconfigured and reimagined with smaller studio and trade-supported theatres to enhance the delegate experience and choice.
The BOC programme will conclude on Friday evening, but the experience continues with a programme of ‘Saturday sessions’ hosted by trade partners. Delegates can make their BOC experience truly bespoke to their area of interest through their session selections.
The BOC social programme always proves popular, and this year, there is a hosted drinks reception on Thursday and a Friday night party which will bring the BOC to a fitting high at the Birmingham Town Hall - a legendary venue and fitting for the festivities as BOS celebrates 30 years as the voice of UK orthodontics.
Guy Deeming, chair of the British Orthodontic Conference Team, added, “The team have worked incredibly hard to deliver a reinvented BOC format and are confident that BOC2024 is an event fit for the next generation and beyond expectation. I am confident that BOC2024 will be a new and upgraded experience to enjoy, learn, and network at, whatever your role or experience.
“As in recent years, the conference runs online too so there is an option for those who cannot attend in person to still benefit from the excellent education on offer. I look forward to seeing you all in my home city of Birmingham.”
