Biennial Meetings

International Conference on
Children’s Bone Health (ICCBH)

The International Conference on Children’s Bone Health (ICCBH) was started in 1999 by an international group of independent clinicians and researchers interested in bone metabolism and bone mass in children, adolescents, and young adults. Five conferences were organised successfully by members of the Organising Committee, the last being in Cambridge, UK, in 2009. In 2011 it was decided to approach an international association for administrative support and between 2013 and 2022 the European Calcified Tissue Society managed the ICCBH conferences on the Organising Committee’s behalf.
