The AACD will kick off the session with "A Night at the Museum," a welcome reception for all attendees, at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History on 2 May. AACD members will see history come to life as they mingle with colleagues and peruse the museum's exhibits, all of which will open for members that evening. The reception will take place from 7.30pm to 10.30pm, giving members plenty of time to explore exhibits featuring dinosaurs, Ancient Egypt, and the Hope Diamond, while enjoying complimentary beer and wine.
Other history-making events at the conference include a special opening "PowerSession" featuring Drs. David Garber, Christian Coachman, and Eric Van Dooren. The session will take place on 2 May from 2.30pm to 5.30pm, and will focus on smile design approaches. The AACD will award CE credit to any dental professional who attends.
The Annual Scientific Session offers attendees unique, out-of-the-box hands-on workshops, lectures, social events, and the opportunity to see the latest dental innovations in the exhibit hall. The session is geared toward all members of the dental team from dentists, to laboratory technicians, hygienists and other cosmetic dental professionals.
The AACD also will honour the Accreditation Class of 2012, during the Celebration of Excellence Gala on 5 May. This year, the AACD is welcoming 12 individuals to the ranks of Accredited members and two to the rarified air of Accredited Fellow status, accomplishments that will prove to be a pivotal moment in these individuals' professional and personal history.
"The DC conference will elevate your passion for what's most important-the smile," said Dr. John K. Sullivan, AACD president. "We can give you the tools you need to take your dental skills to the next level. We educate, we inspire, and we connect you with the best. Join us in DC-and help us make history."
