Welcome
We look forward to you joining us at the 55th Meeting of the Australasian Begg Society of Orthodontists, to be held at the Ritz Carlton Perth, Western Australia from 2-4 September 2027.
ABSO meetings welcome all clinical philosophies, techniques, and persuasions, with invitations open to registered orthodontists and post-graduate students from around the globe.
Next year, our keynote speaker Dr Simon Littlewood (UK) will join other speakers to form a vibrant scientific program showcasing a wide range of presentations from both academia and clinical practice.
Of course, learning goes hand-in-hand with connection. The social events on the island provided the perfect backdrop for networking, catching up with colleagues, and enjoying some tropical mingling.
We are especially proud to continue supporting post-graduate researchers and future specialists. Their contributions enrich our profession, and with the energy and enthusiasm they bring us inspiring.
We hope you will join us in Perth next year. Accommodation (see link below) is now available to book at the Ritz Carlton.
On behalf of the ABSO Committee, thank you again for considering being part of a friendly, informative, and fun meeting. We look forward to welcoming you in September 2027.
