The American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association (ACPA) is thrilled to announce the Korean Cleft Lip and Palate Association (KCLPA) as the 2025 Annual Meeting’s International Partner.
This collaboration marks a step forward in our efforts to enhance global cooperation within the cleft and craniofacial community. Together, we look forward to driving innovative research, sharing knowledge, and improving patient care worldwide.
“We are thrilled to partner with the KCLPA for the 2025 ACPA Annual Meeting in Palm Springs. This partnership will offer new opportunities to exchange knowledge and best practices for cleft and craniofacial care,” said Dr. Canice Crerand, 2025 Program Task Force Chair. “We are grateful to the KCLPA for their expertise and collaboration which will undoubtedly support an engaging and robust scientific program.”
“The Korean Cleft Lip and Palate Association (KCLPA) was founded in 1996 by 10 purposeful dentists and has continued to grow and develop till this day. Our society not only has a tight bond between experts from various fields within Korea, such as speech therapy, orthodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery, but also with other international societies,” said KCLPA President Seung O Ko. “We are honored and thrilled to become an international partner with the ACPA in 2025. This partnership will undoubtedly help our societies to escalate clinically and academically, thus providing refined care for patients with cleft.”
More information about the 2025 International Partner and what to expect at the meeting will be shared in the coming months. We hope you’ll join us in Palm Springs, where the world’s leaders in cleft and craniofacial care gather.
