Pre-CONGRESS
Before we delve into the new dental knowledge at the main event in Ljubljana, let's take a moment to unwind and recharge by embarking on a journey to the picturesque Slovenian seaside. There, you can wander through charming coastal towns where history merges with the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea. Explore the narrow streets of Piran, reminiscent of a bygone era, and delight in the sunlight while relaxing in one of the many traditional taverns. Descend into the mystical depths of the Postojna Cave, where ancient formations and underground marvels await your discovery. Rest assured, after immersing yourself in the captivating views and serene ambiance of the seaside, your mind will be refreshed and ready all the dental experiences that lie ahead.
