2020 European Association of Oral Medicine Biannual Meeting POSTPONED to 23rd to 25th September 2021 due to COVID-19 pandemics
The EAOM Board (Executive Committee and Regions Representatives) and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) have made the difficult decision that, due to the world situation of the COVID-19 pandemics , we must postpone the EAOM Biannual Meeting scheduled in Porto, Portugal October 1-3, 2020
The EAOM Board and the LOC reached this decision only after concluding it would be impossible to hold the conference as planned. The coronavirus continues to spread in Europe (and elsewhere), and the number of COVID-19 cases continues to increase. The risks of gathering hundreds of people together in closed places is still as important issue no matter how we deal with it. Travel either by plane or across borders by car is limited or even forbidden at this moment with no further notice of when we will resume normal circulation of persons around the world.
Our joint decision reflects our determination that not postponing our EAOM Congress under these circumstances could endanger the health and well-being of conference participants.
For those who had planned to attend, the LOC is working to minimize any inconvenience. Full refunds for registrations will be processed soon for those who don’t want to keep it for next year EAOM 2121 PORTO 23-25 September.
New dates for registration and for abstracts submitting are already in this provisional program of “the world’s leading congress on Oral Medicine”
We would also like to take this opportunity to recognize the outstanding work of all the Scientific Session Managers and the International and National Scientific Committees in designing what promise to be an exceptional conference in 2021. We realize the EAOM Biannual Meeting is a valuable benefit to members and supporters, cherished by many as a chance not only to learn but also to connect and network in person and we promise that we will have a great Meeting next year.
We also recognize the great support of Agência Abreu and Mr. Nuno Pinto, Global Director of Congress Operations as well as our Institucional and Comercial Sponsors.
More than ever we all remain fully committed to disseminating the best oral medicine science and education to our members and dentists in Europe and around the world
Wishing you the best in these difficult times,
Stay safe
