SUBJECT: 27th International Congress of the Turkish Society of Paediatric Dentistry 2020
Due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), the 27th International Congress of the Turkish Society of Paediatric Dentistry has been postponed.
Dear colleagues and friends,
The world is going through a very challenging time as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is affecting all of us in some way or another. With these challenges come some difficult decisions, yet our focus must always remain on uniting for the health of our communities.
After thoughtful deliberations, the Board of Directors of the Turkish Society of Paediatric Dentistry, have made the difficult, but necessary decision to postpone the 27th International Congress of the Turkish Society of Paediatric Dentistry scheduled for October 22-25, 2020 in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus due to the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak.
Based on the numerous travel bans and advisories implemented by Governments and Governmental agencies, institutions and corporations, and to protect public health, it is clear that canceling is the right course of action.
We would like to extend our gratitude to our organizing partner Kmice, for their support and understanding at this difficult time. We will work together to reschedule this congress in the future and look forward to making a big success.
We appreciate the support of our speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and all other participants during this unprecedented public health crisis and look forward to your continued interest and support to ensure a successful Congress in 2021.
In the coming months, we will contact you about the date and venue of the congress.
What Happens Next?
Everyone who has registered to attend the meeting will receive a full registration refund within the next 45 days. Once your registration cancellation is processed, you will receive confirmation in a separate email. You do not need to contact TSPD or our registration company Kmice.
Don’t forget to cancel any personal arrangements you’ve made, such as travel and hotel reservations.
We are announcing that we postponed but we cannot give a date at the moment, but our congress will be held in the same way in the future…
We ask for patience as we evaluate our next steps, and we will alert you as additional information becomes available. The new dates and related organizational procedures will be announced on the website and by email to all participants as soon as they are confirmed.
Please refer to the website www.turkpedo.org for details.
We wish you and your families well and hope you and your loved ones are in the best possible health.
Keep in touch and Stay Healthy
Yours sincerely
Prof.Dr. Figen SEYMEN
President
On Behalf of the Board of Directors of Turkish Society of Paediatric Dentistry
