It is my great pleasure to invite you to the FDI World Dental Congress 2027 (WDC27) taking place from 21–24 October 2027 in Mumbai, the City of Dreams. Join colleagues from around the world for four inspiring days of learning, collaboration and professional exchange. Hosted in collaboration with the Indian Dental Association, this will be the third time that India has welcomed the FDI World Dental Congress, following two memorable editions in New Delhi in 2004 and 2014. We are delighted to bring the congress to Mumbai, a city celebrated for its ambition, innovation and hospitality. India's rich diversity has long been one of its greatest strengths. It is a place where diverse cultures, traditions and perspectives come together, creating an environment that encourages new ideas and lasting connections. These same values lie at the heart of WDC27, where thousands of dental professionals from every region of the world gather to exchange knowledge, share experiences and help shape the future of our profession. Our scientific programme will explore the topics transforming dentistry today and in the years ahead. From artificial intelligence and digital workflows to preventive care, public health and global oral health policy, delegates will gain insights from internationally recognized experts and discover practical solutions that can be applied in everyday practice. Beyond the scientific sessions, WDC27 will introduce new opportunities for engagement, including dedicated wellness and sports initiatives that recognize the importance of supporting the health and well-being of dental professionals. The exhibition will showcase the latest products, technologies and services from across the dental industry, creating opportunities to discover new ideas, discuss practical challenges and build partnerships that extend well beyond the congress. Our innovation hubs will offer an interactive environment where delegates can experience emerging technologies, engage directly with innovators and explore how new advances are transforming dental care. Above all, the FDI World Dental Congress is about people. It is where friendships are formed, collaborations begin and our shared commitment to improving oral health worldwide is renewed. I warmly invite you to join us in Mumbai in October 2027. Together, let us learn from one another, strengthen our global community and continue advancing oral health for all. I look forward to welcoming you personally to WDC27.
