editorial | Dr Stefan Grümer Vice-Chairman, WFLD Organising Committee Save the date Dear colleagues, dear friends, The preparations for the joint congress of DGL and WFLD in Aachen, Germany, are in full swing. To be cele- brating the 30th anniversary of the International Society for Laser Dentistry (ISLD, founded in 1988) in Aachen, is a huge honour and motivation to make this event special. Save the date WFLD World Congress 1 to 3 October 2018 in Aachen, Germany And that’s the plan: It is intended to be an international event of a high scientific level, with pronounced practical orientation. The possibilities of high-quality education of one of the most modern university clinics in Germany shall offer the appropriate setting. An entirely new concept will be used to realise these intentions: In order to combine a maximum practical ori- entation medially with the corresponding background knowledge, high-quality scientific presentations of inter- nationally renowned speakers on current developments of laser research—taking place in three auditoriums— will be linked with innovative live patient demonstra- tions accompanied by theoretical introductions and fol- low-ups of presentation teams. In times of Ultra HD and multi-channel projection, the auditorium gets right up close to dentistry of the highest level being demonstrated with diverse wavelengths and devices—guaranteeing a maximum learning effect. The- ory and practical experience will further be connected in the workshop events. Highly modern video-projec- tion walls for poster presentations will last but not least promise interactive multi-media adventures, that have not existed in that manner before. A large number of companies, not only of the field of laser dentistry, will be using the congress-accompany- ing exhibition to present their products and innovations. Well-known exhibitors have already agreed to participate. For many laser-enthused colleagues from all over the world it will be “Coming back home to Aachen!” in Octo- ber. For others the door to the world of laser is only just opening. I am looking forward to welcoming you all and, of course, the numerous friends from DGL, WALED and WFLD/ISLD here in Aachen—only your plentiful partic- ipation and active contribution will make this congress something special. See you soon in Aachen, Dr Stefan Grümer 1 2018 03
