In addition to great education and the opportunity to learn about products and technologies on the trade show floor, the ADA has a number of fun, social events planned.
The Smile Squad’s planned events include a chance to get into that Mardi Gras vibe and indulge in New Orleans’ best music and nibbles at Friday night’s Bouncin’ in the Bayou Fest, 5-7 p.m. On Saturday at SmileCon, the organizers look to bring back those college football Saturdays with a tailgate party in Dental Central from 1-2:30 p.m. Later that night, the ADA Foundation is hosting the Give Veterans A Smile Celebration Event and Fundraiser.
Information on the dates for the House of Delegates—the governing body that represents dentists and the profession nationwide—can be found here and additional information on SmileCon2024’s education opportunities this week can be found here.
