Thank You for Attending the 2026 ASTOT Symposium

On behalf of the Australasian Society of Tethered Oral Tissue (ASTOT), thank you for joining us in beautiful Bali for the 2026 ASTOT Symposium on Tongue-tie, Breastfeeding, and Interdisciplinary Care.
Held at the stunning Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa on 28-29 August 2026, the symposium brought together clinicians, researchers, and thought leaders from across Australasia and around the world. Guided by our theme, "Islands, Culture and Care," we celebrated the richness of place, the diversity of professional practice, and our shared commitment to improving outcomes for infants and families.
The enthusiasm, expertise, and generosity of everyone who attended helped create a truly memorable and collaborative event. We were privileged to welcome professionals from dentistry, speech pathology, lactation, osteopathy, medicine, midwifery, nursing, mental health, allied health, and many other disciplines, all contributing valuable perspectives to the conversation.
Over two inspiring days, we explored emerging evidence, clinical insights, and innovative interdisciplinary approaches to care, fostering connections and collaborations that will continue long after the symposium has concluded.
Thank you for your participation, engagement, and commitment to advancing excellence in care for infants and families. Your contribution made this symposium a success, and we hope you leave with new knowledge, meaningful connections, and renewed inspiration for your practice.
We look forward to welcoming you to a future ASTOT event.
