I 47 meetings _ Bio-Emulation I cosmeticdentistry 2_2015 theme “Bio-Emulation Colloquium 360°”. Key opinion leaders in adhesive and restorative den- tistry educated the participants on methods and techniques to achieve high aesthetic standards and emulate nature using a histo-anatomical approach. During the sessions, particularly the work- shops, attendees had the opportunity to learn moreaboutthemechanicalandopticalproperties of natural teeth and gain knowledge on using existing techniques and materials. A considerable number of workshops were fully booked; for instance, Dr Pascal Magne’s session on dental morphology function and aesthetics was among the most requested. Over 95 per cent of attendees who took part in a representative evaluation survey said that they would definitely recommend the event to others. They were most satisfied with the choice of speakers and topics in particular. Many of the participants took advantage of the networking opportunities offered on the two evenings of the meeting. Each day, about 200 people attended the social events. This year’s colloquium was held at the Eu- ropean School of Management and Technology, a historical site in the centre of Berlin, next to the office of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The building, which has landmark status today, was once the state council building of the for- mer German Democratic Republic. After a lavish refurbishment in 2004 and 2005, it was trans- formed into the current private business school. Dental manufacturer GC Europe was the main sponsor and Shofu was the official partner of the event. In addition, the colloquium was sponsored by Ivoclar Vivadent and CROIXTURE, and sup- ported by American Dental Systems, anaxdent and Velopex International.
