IADR General Session 2029
The International Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (IADR) will return to Japan for its General Session and Asia Pacific Regional Meeting in 2029. The conference will take place from June 27 to 30 at PACIFICO Yokohama.
The IADR meeting is considered the world’s largest dental, oral, and craniofacial research gathering. Organizers expect more than 5,000 participants, including nearly 4,800 international attendees.
The program will feature presentations of cutting-edge science, hands-on demonstrations, and opportunities for collaboration among researchers worldwide.
Professor Satoshi Imazato, immediate past president of IADR, welcomed the announcement.
“I am delighted that Yokohama has been selected to host the IADR General Session,” he said. “IADR is the world’s largest dental, oral and craniofacial research organization, and its Japanese division has long had the second-largest membership, after that of the United States.”
Organizers say the event will highlight Japan’s significant role in advancing dental science while fostering international partnerships.
