Dear Fellows and Inductees,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 68^th ICD Annual Meeting 2025 in the beautiful and historic city of Salzburg. Since we began preparations in 2022, we’ve been eager to welcome you to this charming town, rich in tradition and history, located near the German border. The decline of the Roman city of Iuvavum began in 488. Salzburg was refounded as an episcopal see in 696 and became the seat of the archbishop in 798.

Our meeting will be held at the Hotel Pitter ****^s Hotel and the Hotel Bräu ****, both within walking distance of Salzburg’s old town center. This annual meeting follows the two-days format, starting on Friday and concluding late Saturday night.

Additionally, we have arranged a complementary program beginning Thursday afternoon, including a private ICD classical Chamber Concert at the renowned „Wiener Saal“ of the Mozarteum. The Mozarteum, established in honor of Salzburg’s most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is a prestigious institution dedicated to music and the arts. Its concert hall, the „Wiener Saal,“ is celebrated for its exquisite acoustics and elegant architecture. After the concert, enjoy our get-together at the Pitter Hotel.

On Friday morning, we offer a guided half-day walking tour of Salzburg’s historic center, featuring landmarks such as Getreidegasse, Mozart’s Birthplace, and Hohensalzburg Fortress.

The core program kicks off on Friday evening with a welcome dinner at the „Stiegl Keller,“ a traditional venue in the heart of Salzburg. Saturday’s activities begin at 9:00 AM with a scientific program under the theme „Cranio Mandibular Disorders (CMD) – Everything You Should Know.“ Following a coffee break, we will continue with the humanitarian forum, highlighting projects from the European section of the ICD.

For accompanying persons, we have organized a delightful bus tour of Salzburg’s surroundings, including a light lunch before returning to the hotel. In the afternoon, we will hold the grand induction ceremony at the Mozarteum’s grand hall, followed by a festive gala dinner and dance at the historic „Residenz.“

The Residenz, part of the Salzburg DomQuartier, is a magnificent palace that once served as the residence of the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg. This Baroque masterpiece boasts opulent state rooms and stunning architecture, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of Salzburg’s ecclesiastical and cultural history. It is an iconic venue, providing a fittingly elegant setting for our gala dinner and dance.

For those wishing to extend their stay, we have planned a Sunday tour to Wolfgangsee. The tour includes a lake crossing by boat and a traditional lunch at the „Zum Weißen Rössel“ restaurant. In the afternoon, we will visit Bad Ischl, a former summer residence of the Austrian emperors.

Additionally, all Austrian fellows who will be in Salzburg will warmly welcome you and will be available to assist you throughout your stay.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in June 2025 in Salzburg.

Warmest regards,
