FEATURE

Welcome to the 2018 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition

This is the first issue of the Session Daily for the ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition. The Session Daily is your one-stop source for program highlights, special events and general news about the ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition. Watch your inbox for a new issue of the Session Daily tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday mornings.

Over the next four days, ADEA is offering a variety of informative and interactive educational sessions and workshops, and engaging plenary sessions. Be sure to attend one or all of the three Chair of the ADEA Board of Directors symposia. Additionally, you will have ample opportunity to network and socialize with peers and colleagues, including at events such as the Welcome Reception today from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. in the Coquina Lawn. There’s so much to do and see, and we encourage you to use the ADEA Live mobile app (conference registration number required) and the online program planner to navigate the meeting. 

The Exhibit Hall is open on Sunday and Monday, March 18–19. Visit more than 65 exhibitors and explore the ADEA TechExpo and poster presentations by faculty and students. We have limited programming during Exhibit Hall hours so you can take advantage of enhanced offerings in the Exhibit Hall and the scheduled networking opportunities, including the Connect & Collaborate Lounge, a coffee break and lunches for attendees. Don’t forget to stop by the ADEA Showcase, booth 705:

  • Learn more about ADEA membership and resources, including ADEA meetings and professional development opportunities, advocacy and government relations efforts, the ADEAGies Foundation® and ADEA publications—including the Journal of Dental Education (JDE) and ADEA Directory of Institutional Members and Association Officers.
