Conference Information
OUR UPCOMING CONFERENCE: OCT 8-11, 2025
Our conferences are known for being dynamic. Although they are moderate in size, we boast an impressive number of industry leaders who attend and conduct workshops. In fact, about a third of conference attendees are recognized industry experts, so you can interact with some of the best minds in the business.
Overall, our conferences are designed to be very interactive, so you can make contacts easily and learn the latest innovations in the practice and business of dentistry. We also hold hands-on workshops that are designed to maximize learning and information retention.
OUR UNIQUE APPROACH TO LEARNING
When we create our conferences and workshops, we strive to honor our society's mission to facilitate learning in the cosmetic dentistry industry. We take this mission seriously, which is why our activities will meet your continuing education requirements in a way that is memorable, creative, and fun. At an ASDA conference, there's no sitting passively in a crowd or getting lost in a huge conference facility. We do everything we can to make sure you are learning while enjoying yourself at the same time.
