Message from the Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the 2nd EUSOFA Congress

It is a great honor and pleasure to invite you to the 2nd Congress of the European Society of Cranio-Dento-Facial Anomalies (EUSOFA), which will take place in Athens from 17 to 19 October 2025, at the Royal Olympic Hotel.

The theme of the conference is "Transition from the conventional to the digital era in clinical practice of the craniofacial region". Our invited speakers are leading the way in shaping the modern digital practice of clinical orthodontics and craniofacial orthopedics. We hope that our conference will be a milestone for European data and that our fellow orthodontists will gain unique knowledge. This is guaranteed by our invited speakers who are at the forefront of the scientific digital advancement of our field.

In addition to the world-wide known professors, we are honored to have with us two Greek ladies who are leading the international orthodontic scene, Associate Professor Aliki Tsichlakis, daughter of our Professor Kostas Tsichlakis, at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute, and Assistant Professor Maria Karakousoglou, daughter of our colleague Stefanos Karakousoglou, at the University of Texas Health San Antonio (UTHSA) School of Dentistry. An effort was also made to have with us important Greek orthodontists who participate in the development of digital orthodontics.

We look forward to seeing you at the conference, where a special effort was made to limit the cost of participation, thanks to our international sponsors, who are participating for the first time in Greece. We look forward to a feast of orthodontic digital knowledge that will approach a comprehensive short-term postgraduate program.
