24th Congress of the European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery (EACMFS2018) 18-21 September 2018 – Munich – Germany
“Facing the future together”... what an amazing beauty of words and its meaning. The social media (Figs 1, 2) continues to give us so many advantages, they can help us to communicate, to catch and share the incredible moments of success, to be and watch simultaneously at the hottest events in different corners of the world. But feelings,… emotions,… personal connection… and building trust can be achieved in the best way only being at the Congress… at 24th Congress of the European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery Link. 18-21 of September was the hottest and the most anticipated days among OMF and H&N surgeons, residents, and trainees. In that days all roads come to Munich. The city brought so much new connections, inspiration and so needed motivation. Wolff, Rodriguez (Fig 2), Fernandes, Rana, D`Cruz, Turvey, Gilbert, Parmar et al, those names continue to sound in our minds, being the guiding stars in our surgical life. And we start dreaming again… dreaming about 25th Congress in Paris (September 15-18, 2020).
