Prof. Neukam reminded delegates that they have the right to the reflected information based on scientifically fostered findings, a task that the EAO has been dedicated itself since it was founded in the early 1990s. Despite the ever increasing commercial challenges in the field, he invited participants to inform themselves about the latest materials, technologies and products at the trade show exhibition held in the Megaron Congress Centre.

Approximately 70 companies from Europe, Asia and the US are currently showcasing their latest product lines at the EAO Congress.
