Introducing the ADI Team Congress 2027

The ADI Team Congress 2027 will be a celebration of the organisation’s 40 year anniversary. Attendees will review all that has been achieved in implant dentistry so far, as well as exploring both what’s current and what’s coming next, with compelling inspiration from notorious international experts in the field.

An array of exceptional speakers has been assembled specifically to showcase some of the best clinicians and genuine leaders in dental implantology. The majority will be travelling from abroad to discuss innovations, trends, and techniques from their countries. A selection of renowned UK practitioners will also share perspectives from closer to home for truly comprehensive insights. As such, there will be some brand new faces never seen before at ADI events, as well as a couple of previous favourites returning to update us on game-changing clinical advancements or research projects. In addition, I’m delighted to be welcoming some sensational headline speakers to the stage with ideas and perspectives from beyond dentistry – watch this space for some really exciting announcements!

The programme will, therefore, cover a broad range of topics, from bone and soft tissue grafting to full-arch rehabilitation. A spotlight will also be placed on when not to place implants. This is another new feature for this event, but I feel it is important to understand the treatment options available when implants are not appropriate – for younger patients or those with a contraindicative medical history, for example. There will be content for professionals who are just starting out in implantology, all the way to those of us who work at the most complex clinical level.

A combination of hands-on workshops and lectures will be available, in addition to an extensive implant-focused exhibition supported by key members of the industry. This gives attendees a platform to discover more about the products or systems discussed in lectures, to see solutions first-hand and engage with developers or manufacturers to better understand technological capabilities and potential to support business growth.

This interaction is just the start of what the ADI community offers. The 2027 Team Congress social programme will include many opportunities to enjoy time with friends, to make new connections, and let your hair down a little with your team. We’re hosting a massive party on Friday night and everyone is invited – dust off your best Quentin Tarantino themed outfit to join us for delicious food and a glass of something bubbly, before we hit the dancefloor to throw shapes like Mia and Vincent.

Among the festivities, we also look forward to honouring the first of our colleagues to become Fellows as part of the newly launched ADI Fellowship Pathway. This was recently implemented in order to complement the skill development necessary for success in implantology and better support individuals in each stage of their career.

This will be an event for the entire dental implant team, putting education and connection front and centre. We’re heading to Liverpool so it will be a pleasure to welcome you all to my home town. Easily accessible from all areas of the UK, this is an iconic city of culture, history, and music – and I know all the best spots for anyone wanting to make the most of their visit!

The ADI Team Congress 2027 – “The Future in Focus. Four Decades of Implant Excellence.” – will be hosted on 15–17 April at the ACC in Liverpool. It will be an opportunity to look back at our progress in the last four decades and to push the boundaries even further. We share a goal to constantly enhance the implant treatment available to our patients. By sharing best practices, inspiring each other, and collaborating to develop new approaches to complex clinical situations, we can change the lives of even more individuals around the world. I invite you all to save the dates in your diary and make sure you don’t miss the ADI Team Congress 2027 – “I think this just might be my masterpiece…”
