Innovative, interactive and informative – this is a succinct description of the online version of this year’s International Expert Symposium (IES), which was organized by Ivoclar Vivadent for the dental industry. The symposium lectures are now available online – free of charge and at any time.

On five consecutive days at the end of May, a series of online lectures was presented in line with the symposium title of “Succeeding together in tomorrow’s dentistry”. The event, which involved 17 well-known dental experts from all over the world, drew an audience of more than 8,000 people. The speakers talked about new technologies and current trends and developments and they interacted with the audience in live panel discussions hosted by Dr Jean-Pierre Attal from the University of Paris, making the event a truly unique experience. Aljan de Boer from TrendsActive, a respected trend research agency based in the Netherlands, presented an enlightening keynote lecture, entitled “How to attract and manage talent”. He provided the audience with interesting insights and practical tips and tricks on a topic which affects everyone, including the dental industry. The online symposium was presented in partnership with the dental firms 3Shape, Dürr Dental and Komet.
