I hope you will take up this invitation to attend the 2013 Biennial Conference for the New Zealand Association of Orthodontists. This conference is being planned to both challenge and inform you. Local and international speakers are being assembled to address specific clinical problems for which contemporary orthodontic solutions are yet evolving.
             
We are pleased to welcome on board the Australian Begg Orthodontic Society who are holding their biennial meeting in association with ours. This latest example of the CER between Australia and New Zealand will add value to both meetings and you the participant stand to benefit. NZAO will turn on a special welcome for our Australian guests and I hope many will make the trip across the Tasman to sample what New Zealand has to offer.

Rotorua, in the central North Island of New Zealand, is one of our principal resort towns, long renowned for its thermal and volcanic attractions as well as being a centre for Maori culture. In addition it is a hub for a wide range of outdoor pursuits including fly fishing, water rafting and skiing.
 
Come and join us. A warm welcome awaits you.
 
John Muir
President
New Zealand Association of Orthodontists
