My dear members of the Korean Association of
Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (KAMPRS)!

“The 60th Congress of the Korean Association of Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons” will be organized by the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the School of Dentistry at Kyung-Hee University. It is an infinite honor to hold a meaningful Congress to celebrate 60 years of history. I would like to express my deepest thanks to president Seung-O Ko of the KAMPRS, directors, advisors, and members who have made this opportunity possible.

The KAMPRS 2021 Congress was originally scheduled to be held magnificently to celebrate a meaningful Congress such as the 60th Anniversary of our association by inviting many famous speakers from locally and abroad as an offline venue. However, as we prioritize the safety of participants, we have decided to conduct this year’s Congress as an online ‘Untact’ meeting due to the unprecedented global pandemic of the COVID-19 and an upgraded social distancing rules such as the ban on face-to-face meetings and gatherings according to the
fourth re-proliferation in Korea. We ask for your understanding.

Although it is an online ‘Untact’ Congress, we prepared an KAMPRS 2021 Congress under the theme of "New step for the next 60 years" to look back on the past 60 years, think about where our association and studies are and discuss our directions for the next 60 years. Also we have prepared many lectures and places for academic interchanges that match the theme with renowned speakers from locally and abroad. So we hope it will be a successful Congress where many members participate and various academic interchanges take place.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to the invited speakers from locally and abroad who prepared to give excellent lectures despite their busy schedules and to all members for their active participation. Lastly, I would like to thank the members of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the School of Dentistry at Kyung-Hee University and many alumni who spared no effort in encouraging us to hold a successful Conference. Moreover, I hope president, advisors, executive directors, and all members of the KAMPRS take care of your health and stay healthy. The COVID-19 will be ended as soon as possible and meet you at the offline ‘Ontact’ Congress.

My dear members of the Korean Association of
Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (KAMPRS)!

Under the unusually clear and high autumn sky, the KAMPRS 2021 Congress will be held under the supervision of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the School of Dentistry at Kyung-Hee University. In particular, this year's Congress is also a place to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of our association's foundation. I think it is a very meaningful place to thank predecessor scholars who started 60 years ago in a poor environment and devoted themselves to treatment, education, and services for pioneering treatment field of Maxillofacial areas and the members who have worked hard to become our association today.

The main theme of this congress is "Next step for the next 60 years." In addition, the Congress program covers the latest knowledge of our association's core areas, including various 3D simulations, bone graft for implant, cleft lip and palate, salivary gland disease, and Maxillofacial reconstruction surgery in line with the era of the 4th industrial revolution.

Unfortunately, such a meaningful 60th Anniversary Congress cannot be held as a grand and abundant autumn festival where we directly meet and celebrate and discuss with many of members at the same time. However, although it is an online 'Untact' Congress, I hope it will not only be an academic interchanging place for more active participation and communication, but also an opportunity to prepare for developing our future by focusing on the founding spirit of our association and reflecting on its history.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the invited lecturers, local and international, who agreed to give their time despite the difficult circumstances, and especially to express my gratitude to Chairman Yu-Jin Jee of the KAMPRS 2021 Congress, Organizing Committee members, and the members of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the School of Dentistry at Kyung-Hee University who did their best to help for the success of the KAMPRS Congress amid the national confusion caused by COVID-19.

Dear Members!

Members who are always interested in and participate actively for the association are jewels of the KAMPRS. I'm always deeply grateful for you. I wish you good health and happiness, and I look forward to the day when we can meet again in good health as soon as possible.

Thank you.

President of KAMPRS
Seung O Ko
