ICE Annual Scientific Symposium 2026 Announced

Saturday 24 January, Hilton Deansgate, Manchester

For all clinicians working within the dental implant field, it is crucial to access up-to-the-minute and forward-thinking education and training. Not only does this ensure that individuals remain abreast of the latest research, concepts, techniques and technologies in the discipline, but also helps to drive collective standards ever higher.

The ICE Annual Scientific Symposium is such an event. Entitled “Innovations in Implant Dentistry and Peri-implant Disease”, the full-day conference will provide a unique educational platform for anyone wanting to take their career to the next level.

Unprecedented speaker line-up

One of the aspects that sets the Symposium apart from other events is the unsurpassed speaking faculty. Some of the UK’s top implant dentists will be sharing insights and clinical development, with a keynote speech from none other than Professor Tomas Albrektsson.

Having worked directly alongside Professor Brånemark, Professor Albrektsson is one of the earliest pioneers of osseointegration. He will be drawing from his unmatched 60 years of experience in dental and medical research, scientific investigations and product development.

Other international speakers include two of the world’s rising stars in implantology – Dr Eglé Ramanauskaité from Lithuania and Dr Elena Calciolari from Italy. They will present clinical research and explore paradigm shifts in the management of various complications, including peri-implant diseases.

A diverse and supported programme

With Scientific Chairs Professor Simon Wright and Professor Cemal Ucer leading the way, several other renowned experts in the field will be taking to the podium to offer practical advice, share experience and get the conversation flowing. The programme will also include a research presentation by award-winning postgraduate MSc students.

In addition, the day will be supported by leading dental implant product suppliers and developers, including Geistlich, MegaGen, Osstem, Southern Implants, and more.

Connect with others

Enabling you to uncover the latest innovations in dental implantology, the ICE Annual Scientific Symposium will also be an excellent opportunity to connect with colleagues who share a passion for clinical excellence. During post-lecture discussions, moderated sessions, or in breaks, there is plenty of time to discuss ideas further and have your own voice heard.

For the chance to enjoy more time with friends, a Gala Dinner will also be available on Saturday evening. With the limited tickets expected to sell out fast, be sure to secure your place soon for a decadent three-course meal, great entertainment and even better company.
