2025.09.16 The 2029 International Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (IADR) General Session & Exhibition has been decided to be held in Yokohama!

We are delighted to announce that Yokohama, Japan, has been selected as the host city for the 2029 International Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (IADR) General Session & Exhibition, which will be held from June 27 to June 30, 2029.

This prestigious global event will be organized in conjunction with the IADR Asia Pacific Regional (APR) Meeting, bringing together leading researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals from around the world.

The successful bid was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), the Japan Tourism Agency, Yokohama Convention Bureau and PACIFICO Yokohama, all of whom came together to support the Japanese Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (JADR) as part of the unified “Team Japan” initiative.

This marks a significant milestone, as it will be the first time in 28 years that Japan hosts the IADR General Session, following its last appearance in Chiba in 2001.

We look forward to welcoming the dental, oral, and craniofacial research community to Yokohama in 2029.
