IDEM’s digital edition, held from 19 June to 19 August 2020, has come to a close. The 11th edition of IDEM (the International Dental Exhibition and Meeting), organised by Koelnmesse and the Singapore Dental Association, attracted 3,615 attendees from 54 countries, sparking critical dialogue as to the trends shaping the future of dentistry amid a new era of normality.
Mathias Kuepper, Managing Director of Koelnmesse Pte. Ltd., expressed his gratitude to the organising team and the global dental community, for coming together to make the very first digital edition of IDEM a success. “In a world where it is difficult to gather physically, continued learning and networking remain of vital importance. Our attendees recognise this and they were very receptive, kindly embracing the new digital format”.
The IDEM Conference featured 28 local and global speakers who delivered 27 scientific sessions, made available live and on-demand for registered delegates. The sessions addressed social and technological trends including dentistry for ageing populations, how to conduct remote consultations, as well as how artificial intelligence is being applied to the business of dentistry. Delegates that attended the sessions also earned Continuing Education Points to reflect their learning.
Like the conference, IDEM’s exhibition was also digital, a first for the series. 304 exhibitors from 36 countries showcased their latest innovations and solutions, offering exclusive promotions and discounts to IDEM attendees, including bundle offers and month-long promotions.
