EXCIDA welcomes 5000 regis- tered attendees and more than 5000 exhibition visitors each year. As it is an ideal place for perfecting clinical skills and en- hancing the success of dental career, the number of attend- ees to this nationally recog- nised event has been steadily growing over the years. EXCIDA 56 is a unique event in the Middle East and Central Asia as it brings together world class leaders in dental practice, research and industry to pres- ent highest possible standard in continuing education and features dental industry’s pre- mier event in the region. Iran is the second largest econ- omy in the region, with an esti- mated Gross Domestic Product in 2014 of US$406.3 billion. It also has the second largest population of the region, with an estimated 78.5 million peo- ple in 2014 and following Iran and 5+1 agreement on July 2015 and successfully imple- mentation of JCPOA, all US, EU and UN sanctions on Iran will be lifted by March-June 2016 resulting in opening doors to world prominent manufactures and mother companies and na- tional economic blossoming. Iranian Dental community rep- resents 32000 registered den- tists and 13 dental associations nationwide while 3000 dental professionals through 60 ac- credited national dental fac- ulties are graduated annually. More than 400 dental dealers actively participate in EXCIDA each year and it is estimated following lifting sanctions, the number increases considera- bly. There is an increasing demand for up-to-date dental technol- ogy in lifted sanction era and EXCIDA 56 will be the promis- ing gate which bridges world dental industry to this market. Face-to-face interacting with customers, brand promoting, generating more dealers in Iran and reaching a large audience are rewarding benefits of ex- hibitors. An official letter of invitation to attend EXCIDA 56 will be sent upon written request. This invitation is intended to facilitate the participant’s trav- el and visa arrangements but does not extend financial sup- port. Attendees can apply for visa through Iranian embassies in their homeland or benefit from facilities provided by EX- CIDA through accredited travel agencies. Attendees are advised to bring cash into Iran as internation- al credit and debit cards can not be used in Iran. However, EXCIDA provided facilities for smoothly currency exchange.
