Dear friends and colleagues,
 
On behalf of the organizing committee of the 7th Asian Pacific Craniofacial Association Conference and the 6th Congress of the International Society for Simulation Surgery, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to Taipei.
 
The scientific committee has organized the scientific program to cover the whole spectrum of craniofacial surgery with excellent keynote lectures, panels and free papers. The conference also wishes to emphasize the unique disease pattern and treatment in the Asian Pacific region, namely, facial trauma, maxillofacial surgery, distraction osteogenesis, and cleft surgery.
 
The Grand Hotel, venue for the congress, is famous for its traditional palatial architecture, vermilion pillars, stately archways, and brilliantly tiled roof. It has for a long time remained one of Taiwan’s most magnificent landmarks. We have customized a most unique congress tour as an introduction to the spectacles of Taipei. Amongst other items, you will visit the world renown Taipei 101 building and the National Palace Museum.
 
Taipei is a city where modern and ancient co-exist. While you can shop in modern department stores, dine in elegant western style restaurants, and have astounding city views from Taipei 101, you can also visit antique temples, haggle over items in long-established markets, and enjoy the finest Chinese cuisines in many restaurants and night markets. Besides attending the conference, we hope that you will spend some time to discover out city.
 
Please enjoy your stay in Taipei!
 
With best regards!
