Preparations for the medical congress are in full swing.

July 2, 3, and 4, 2025

Since 2007, the PHIL has been the permanent location for the international BSSO congress, which focuses on orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons. This anniversary edition marks the tenth meeting in a valuable tradition. In July, more than 400 maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists from home and abroad will once again converge in hotels in Haarlem. Our preparations for the congress, organized by Ireen Rientjes Congress Organization, are in full swing.

De Kleine Zaal is zeer intiem, het podium is relatief dicht op het publiek. BSSO staat ook voor discussies. De lezingen duren in principe 20 minuten, waarna een Q&A of discussie volgt. Daar is de ruimte met het publiek zó dicht op het podium, uitstekend geschikt voor.

Collaboration since 2007 

‘I had never seen such a beautiful, warm, and intimate conference room as the Kleine Zaal,’ our client recalls from her first site visit. ‘Over the years, we have grown as an event, and that could always be done excellently within the historic walls of the PHIL. In the latest editions, we have been able to organize additional workshops and conferences on the Wednesday before and the Saturday after the Symposium. The smaller rooms of the PHIL are perfect for this. They are not only functional but also beautifully designed and wonderfully located with a great view.’ 

Haarlem as an alternative to Amsterdam 

We hear it more often; Haarlem is an excellent alternative to Amsterdam. Only 15 minutes from Schiphol and 20 minutes from Amsterdam, and easily accessible by train. Not only international participants, but also Dutch people appreciate the compact, historical city center - where everything is within reach. The local hospitality scene is well-liked: during the conference, you'll see groups of participants enjoying themselves on the terraces and in the many cozy restaurants. Or organize, just like BSSO, a dinner at a beach club in Zandvoort; guests can catch the bus right around the corner at the Spaarne.
