The Congress venue was truly magnificent, and this was matched by the weather which was sunny and extremely warm. Over 1,700 delegates were in attendance to hear outstanding keynote lectures and oral presentations. The postgraduate course given by Bjørn Zachrisson and sponsored by Dentaurum, proved immensely popular and was attended by over 260 participants. This was also the case for the disco. The following awards were presented during the meeting: Beni Solow: Pertti Pirttiniemi et al., Finland; Sheldon Friel Memorial Lecture: Peter Diedrich, Germany; Houston Research (Oral): Shivani Patel, U.K.; Houston Research (Poster): Cesare Luzi, Denmark; EOS Posters: Christina Schrodt, Germany, Anna Ödman, Sweden and Jen Soh, Singapore. Business Meeting Reports on the Society’s activities were given by the Honorary Officers. The Honorary Treasurer, Professor Zentner, thanked Professor Anne Marie Kuijpers-Jagtman for the meeting in Amsterdam from which we were very fortunate to receive a profit of over £76,000. The Honorary Editor announced that were no problems with the EJO and that the abstracts from the Vienna Congress would be published online in December 2006. He said that, for the first time, the journal had made a profit; however Professor McDonald had no idea how this had been achieved! undertake lectures in Paris, France; Mainz, Germany; Athens, Greece and Olomouc, Czech Republic.

This will be a memorable event organised by our President, Rainer-Reginald (Reggie) Miethke. The congress venue will be the Berlin Philharmonic Hall.

Vittorio Cacciafesta of Italy will give a pre-congress course on ‘Treatment of adult patients with severely compromised dentitions’ and Axel Bumann of Germany the post-congress course on ‘How much does the temporomandibular joint affect orthodontic treatment?’. The topics for the Congress are: What have we accomplished in orthodontics in the last 100 years?; Failure, relapse and retention; IT and CAD/CAM and free topics. The social programme will include the Opening Ceremony and Get-together cocktail, the President’s reception, the postgraduate disco and the Congress Outing and Silver Mill Competition.
