The IKARGI Gala Dinner is a special event held as part of the 12th IKARGI National Symposium in Surabaya. This evening gathering is dedicated to celebrating the unity and camaraderie of IKARGI members, fostering warm connections, and strengthening professional and personal bonds within the dentomaxillofacial radiology community. The Gala Dinner serves as a moment for all attendees to come together in a relaxed and joyous atmosphere, sharing experiences and stories while enjoying a delightful evening of entertainment and togetherness. It is an opportunity to rekindle old friendships, build new networks, and embrace the spirit of togetherness that defines the IKARGI community.

This exclusive event is open to all IKARGI members and does not require any additional fees. It is also a night of entertainment, ensuring an enjoyable and lively experience for everyone attending. One of the most anticipated highlights of the event is the Resident Performance Competition, where DMFR residents from various institutions will showcase their talents and creativity. This friendly competition aims to encourage teamwork, confidence, and the celebration of artistic expression, making the evening even more engaging and unforgettable. Additionally, the Awarding Night will take place during the Gala Dinner, where prizes will be presented to all winners of the Scientific Award and IODR Olympiad. This prestigious moment will celebrate excellence and dedication within the community, recognizing outstanding contributions and achievements.

To make the evening even more exciting, the Gala Dinner will feature a special theme and concept, including a designated dress code to enhance the festive atmosphere. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the theme and make the night a truly memorable experience. This year’s Gala Dinner comes with a nostalgic and playful twist, as the theme will be “Back to School”. All attendees are invited to dress up in attire inspired by school life—ranging from classic school uniforms to extracurricular team outfits such as those of basketball players and cheerleaders. Creative interpretations are encouraged, including cosplay as school teachers, canteen staff, P.E. instructors, security guards, and other familiar school figures. The theme is designed to spark joy, laughter, and fond memories of high school days—turning back the clock for a night of light-hearted fun and memorable moments.

Join us for a memorable night of celebration, laughter, and camaraderie, as we honor our shared commitment to advancing the field of DMFR while cherishing the bonds that unite us. Let’s gather, connect, and create lasting memories at the IKARGI Gala Dinner in Surabaya!
