On behalf of the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the Chinese Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, in cooperation with the Hong Kong Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, I am pleased to welcome you to the 19th International Conference on Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in conjunction with the 8th Chinese National Conference on Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, to be held at Shanghai International Convention Center May 23-27, 2009. The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for the pioneers of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery to interact with each other and familiarize the participants with the latest developments in Oral Maxillofacial Surgery. We will offer four days of concentrated scientific sessions and would like to encourage you to participate.

This meeting will also give you an opportunity to visit Shanghai, the beautiful eastern city not only with traditional and mysterious eastern cultures but also with active and modern atmosphere.

We will make every effort to ensure that the ICOMS 2009 will be a memorable scientific and social gathering. Looking forward to seeing you in Shanghai in 2009!

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Wei-liu Qiu

Chairman of ICOMS 2009
