RENEWED ENERGY
THIS YEAR is off to a strong start and it is gratifying to see the renewed energy and enthusiasm among our Board, colleagues and members worldwide as the IAOMS expands its e-learning and virtual programs and begins a return to in-person conferences and programing.
The 2022 IAOMS Virtual Conference which took place in early June was a big success, with cuttingedge presentations and lively discussion with international attendees from 30 countries. This event was made possible by the generous support of the Osteo Science Foundation.
This year is especially memorable as 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the association. The IAOMS has a groundbreaking history to look back on and many accomplishments to celebrate. As we celebrate the successes of our 60 year history we seek to ensure a strong and vibrant future. We are currently engaged in developing a five year strategic plan designed to position the association and Foundation for growth and success.
To pay tribute to the 60th anniversary, the upcoming season of the IAOMS podcast is a series of interviews with past IAOMS Presidents reflecting on their time with the organization and its impact on their careers and patients. These stories will draw from every part of the world, and every walk of life impacted by OMF surgery. Other news on the horizon is the long-awaited reunion of OMF surgeons from around the world at ICOMS 2023 in Vancouver, Canada. Stay tuned for updates on the scientific program and networking events. Registration opens summer 2022 and we look forward to seeing you there. Until then be sure to look for us at the IAOMS booth at these upcoming conferences: ANZAOMS in Melbourne, Australia AAOMS in New Orleans, USA, EACMFS in Madrid, Spain and CIALACIBU in Cartagena de Indias, Columbia. ■
