Belfast - Sept 09 IMPT Conference


The Institute of Maxillofacial Prosthetists and Technologists (IMPT) held their biannual conference at Belfast in September 2009. I was thrilled to be able to go to this Congress and read my research paper.

This conference is organised by the IMPT, UK and their website can be accessed at www.impt.org


It was a scary thought to go and lecture to a bunch of specialists about their own speciality, but they all put me at ease.

I presented my work on the Hardness changes in Maxillofacial elastomers.

    The conference was vastly different from the ones I have attended in India. Different in terms of its punctuality, organisation and execution. No long boring inauguration with the boring speeches, no crowded lecture schedule with multiple halls having multiple speakers talking to empty seats, and above all the emphasis on starting sessions on time with all conference delegates in attendance!

My first international presentation was a delight and I cant wait to grab an           oppurtunity to go overseas and present my next project.
