The ICCBH biennial conference is firmly established on the international meeting calendar and regularly attracts audiences in excess of 600 delegates to hear about and discuss the latest research into paediatric bone disorders.
This year, in addition, ICCBH will organise a virtual meeting on bone fragility disorders on the 18-20 November 2020.
The Virtual Forum will comprise invited lectures, meet the expert sessions, workshops, clinical case discussions, oral communications, poster discussions and networking sessions.
The aim is to present and discuss new research in investigative, diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with bone fragility disorders and to foster the exchange of ideas and discussion of ongoing initiatives.
The focus will be on provision of engaging content and networking opportunities for a global audience.
The meeting is organised in association with ECTS, OIF and OIFE.
OIF will organise on the 17th of November a Virtual Young Investigators’ Symposium as a pre-meeting to the ICCBH Virtual Forum. Details on the OIF website.
