The Scale of the World Dental Congress

As event photographers, our main goal is to capture the essence of the occasion while ensuring every important detail is preserved. We understand the significance of corporate events like the World Dental Congress and the importance of creating lasting memories for both the organizers and attendees.

The World Dental Congress is not just another event however; it’s a colossal gathering of minds, ideas, and innovation. The sheer magnitude of this congress is awe-inspiring, with sessions spanning across multiple rooms, exhibitions, and offsite locations. To provide comprehensive coverage, Event Photos Australia deployed a team of nine photographers, with up to six photographers working simultaneously during the busiest days. This immense effort was essential to capture the diversity of activities and moments that unfolded during the event and insuring all conference sessions were covered. No mean feat when one of the three programmes have 8 rooms running simultaneously in 45 minute sessions.

With sessions held in numerous rooms and offsite locations, coordinating photographers and ensuring every aspect of the event is captured is a complex endeavour. Professional event photographers like those at Event Photos Australia excel at logistics, guaranteeing that every moment is documented.

Planning for #WDC2023 started months out with the logistics mastermind of Event Photos, Director Pat Brunet putting together the different programmes into 1 master document.

As for the remaining programmes were still being captured. The photographs from the remaining programmes have now been culled, edited and delivered within 5 business days, with all photos sorted into categories and renamed to be easily found when needed.

The World Dental Congress extended beyond the convention centre to offsite locations, including Taronga Zoo and Sydney Town Hall. These offsite events were equally important and required careful planning and execution. Event Photos Australia’s photographers were not only present but also fully immersed in capturing the spirit of these gatherings.
