After a long hiatus, ANZPSD held our 21st Congress on 27 – 28 October 2023 at the restored Christchurch Town Hall in Ōtautahi, Christchurch, New Zealand and had a fun Gala dinner at the Transitional Cardboard Cathedral.

We were delighted to hear from Professor Jorge Casian, who was the Keynote Speaker for this congress. Prof Casian has a degree in Paediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. His special interest is dental developmental defects and MIH: From science to clinical practice. The rest of the exciting program had a variety of speakers.

Ōtautahi, Christchurch is surrounded by the Southern Alps, the Canterbury Plains and the Pacific Ocean. The Port Hills trails, and local surf beaches provided opportunities for active travellers, whilst the Waipara wine country or the revitalised city with the hub of restaurants, laneways and street art provided a more relaxed experience.
