MEETING 2026

more about the event

Event presentation

Our Closed Meeting is, first and foremost, a moment of community. A "closed-door" gathering where science and clinical excellence meet a genuinely informal atmosphere, built on friendship, mutual respect, and real personal connection. Here, colleagues come together to listen, share, and challenge ideas with openness, respect, and ease. It's the kind of setting where discussions turn into conversations, ideas spark genuine connections, and the time spent together becomes part of what makes the experience unforgettable.

The meeting

This year's Closed Meeting will focus on occlusion, understood not as an abstract concept but as a practical foundation that influences diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term predictability in esthetic and restorative dentistry. Through selected lectures, clinical cases, and structured discussion, the program aims to refine how we assess functional parameters, manage complexity, and integrate occlusal principles into contemporary workflows. The goal is simple: clearer thinking, more reliable strategies, and a shared language that strengthens both our daily practice and our collective scientific culture.

Networking

The true value of our Closed Meetings lies in the depth of human connection they create. At these gatherings, you'll find an intentionally small group where relationships go beyond professional networking and grow into genuine friendships, built on trust, shared experiences, and the rare chance to spend meaningful time together, without rush, without pretense. Over the years, countless bonds formed at these meetings have lasted for decades, because when you bring together a group with this level of character and openness, something special happens: conversations become authentic, friendships become lasting, and the Academy becomes a reference point for life, both professionally and personally.
