The scientific session commenced on Wednesday, the 7th June 2017 with the Sheldon Friel Lecture given by Hans-Peter Bantleon of Austria on 'Where are we in orthodontics, where are we going? Houston Oral Research Presentations were then given by Roberto Rongo of Italy, Kate Parker of the UK and Niels Ganzer of Sweden on three diverse topics, respectively: 'Evaluation of masticatory muscle activity in patients with unilateral posterior crossbite before and after orthodontic treatment', 'A randomised controlled trial of a patient decision-making aid for orthodontic treatment' and 'A novel method for superimposition and measurements on maxillary digital three-dimensional models – studies on validity and reliability'. The keynote speakers on the topic of 'The alveolar envelope as the limit to orthodontic tooth movement' were Jaap Maltha of the Netherlands, Stavros Kiliaridis, Demetrios Halazonetis and Anton Sculean of Switzerland and Heinz Winsauer of Austria.
The President's reception in the evening was at the historic Montreux market place, which is one of the main symbols of Montreux, situated next to the statue of Freddie Mercury. Its metal structure is reminiscent of the famous Victor Baltard Halles in Paris and came from the same workshop that supplied Gustave Eiffel with the materials for his tower. Music was provided by Romano Ricciardi with the Livejazz Trio and the DJ Richard Dragon. We are grateful for the support of the city of Montreux with this event.

Keynote lectures on Thursday, the 8th June 2017 were given by Peter Buschang and Flavio Uribe (USA) on ‘Surgically-assisted orthodontic tooth movement’. The EJO open session during the lunch period was on ‘Accelerating tooth movement: more than a placebo effect?’ This was a three-way quick-fire debate with Martyn Cobourne and Padhraig Fleming of the UK and Alpdoğan Kantarci of the USA debating the topic. The afternoon session focussed on 'Pharmacologically-regulated orthodontic tooth movement', with keynote contributions from Stephan von Gunten of Switzerland and Nan Hatch of the USA. This was followed by the poster session at which the presenters had an opportunity of discussing their research with interested delegates. An extremely large numbers of scientific and clinical posters were on display.
The day finished with the ever-popular postgraduate party in the evening; this took place at the congress centre with Vlad Skova and Tanja Lacroixas the DJs. Friday's oral session was on ‘Free topics’, with keynote lectures from Yijin Ren of the Netherlands, Nikolaos Pandis, Carlaberta Verna and Theodore Eliades of Switzerland. Throughout the oral sessions more than 50 short presentations were given by delegates from a number of countries on a wide variety of topics. At the end of the morning scientific session, certificates were presented to Hans-Peter Bantleon for his excellent Sheldon Friel lecture and the Distinguished Teacher Lecturer for 2018 was confirmed as Anton Sculean. The following awards were also made:

The successful candidates and new members of the EBO examination were reported as follows: Michele Calabro, Christodoulos Laspos, Massimiliano Mandurino. The provisional members are: Mohannad Khandakji, Volka Aykac , Nakush Shah, Ahmed Alobeid, Quentin Kamm, Christian Schoen and Laurent Thierens. The winner of the Beni Solow Award for the best article published in the European Journal of Orthodontics in 2016 was Mantas Šidlauskas et al. (Lithuania). A short presentation was given of the research on ‘Heritability of mandibular cephalometric variables in twins with completed craniofacial growth' . During the Business Meeting, at the end of the scientific session, reports were given by the President, Honorary Secretary, Honorary Treasurer, Editor, President of the EBO and Professor Kuijpers-Jagtman of NEBEOP. It was reported that following the last Business meeting in 2016 a company‚NEBEBOP, had been set up with three directors. Information about this company can be obtained at: www.nebeop.org. The result of the ballot for the presidency in 2023 was announced as follows: Demetrios Halazonetis, Greece (128 votes) Tomislav Lauc, Croatia (61 votes). The congress in that year will therefore take place in Greece. Entertainment in the evening comprised a lake cruise and the gala dinner at Chillon Castle, an architectural gem located on the shores of Lake Geneva, at the foot of the Alps. This monument has inspired artists and writers, from Jean-Jacques Rousseau to Victor Hugo and Lord Byron, from Delacroix to Courbet. Music was provided by the Patrice Moret Trio. During the dinner, thanks were expressed to Christos Katsaros and his organising committee for an excellent meeting and he was presented with his Past President's Badge. The badge of office was passed to Dirk Bister who will hold the meeting in 2018 in Edinburgh, UK.

The final event of the meeting was the congress outing and Silver Mill Competition to the historic town of Gruyères. The castle, which dates back to the 13th century, is today a museum depicting 800 years of regional architecture, history and culture. The Silver Mill competition, comprising flag tossing, alpine horn blowing and shooting, took place at Clos aux Cerfs, located next to the Church of Gruyères. Previous experience with the boomerang and didgeridoo was clearly a deciding factor for Australia who won the competition! Those who attended then enjoyed a typical Swiss mill of fondue.
