ORTHO-AMSTERDAM 2026
10 International Keynote Speakers
Thursday 25 June – Friday 26 June 2026 – Heineken Experience – Amsterdam
The Booy Foundation organizes ORTHO-AMSTERDAM 2026, the follow-up conference of the final congress of the European Begg Society of Orthodontics (EBSO) that was held in Amsterdam in 2024.
10 eminent international invited speakers will present the latest advancements in practical orthodontics. Speakers are: Giorgio Iodice, Andrew DiBiase, Alberto Caprioglio, Christina Erbe, Yijin Ren, Niels Ganzer, Sabine Ruf, Manuel Nienkemper, Dick Barendregt, and Hans Booij. In addition, the Begg Prize (€ 2,500) will be awarded to the best scientific research that benefits daily orthodontic practice. The special attractiveness of the congress is its clinical character, a relaxed atmosphere, and sufficient time for presentations and discussions. Just take a look at the program!
The congress will take place in the Heineken Experience, the restored very first Heineken brewery in the centre of Amsterdam. The old brewery has been transformed into an interactive museum. It is a popular tourist attraction and congress location.
The historic venue is easily accessible by car, public transport, canal boat, and by bike and is located close to the Museum Square with the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Stedelijk Museum. Numerous other well-known museums are also within walking distance. Just behind the Heineken Experience many terraces, cafés, and restaurants are located.
There is a very interesting and entertaining social program. The welcome reception with walking dinner on Wednesday 24 June will take place in the EYE Filmmuseum, located in the iconic white building on the IJ, Amsterdam’s waterfront. The building offers a magnificent panoramic view of the IJ and Amsterdam. The congress dinner on Thursday 25 June is in The Royal Concertgebouw, one of the best concert halls in the world. In this grand and impressive historic building you can almost feel the presence of legendary conductors such as Richard Strauss and Igor Stravinsky and famous musicians like Leonard Bernstein and Vladimir Horowitz.
Amsterdam is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Known as the ‘Venice of the North’ for its 165 canals, the city’s most famous sight is its well-preserved and appealing 17th-century architecture. You can enjoy the winding canals, idyllic bridges, and historic buildings. Amsterdam also offers an extreme variety of shops, markets, and the famous red light district.
Please note that there is high interest. All our previous conferences sold out quickly and were a great success! So be on time. The number of participants is limited. Registration is done on a first-come, first-served basis.
