ADEA ADPDC Conference Connections Program

Conference Connections Program

We aim to provide a positive and welcoming experience for all  ADEA Allied Dental Program ADEA Allied Dental Program Directors’ Conference (ADEA ADPDC) Conference (ADEA ADPDC) attendees.

The Conference Connections program is an opportunity to bring experienced ADEA ADPDC attendees together with new attendees. Many new ADEA ADPDC attendees are unsure of how to maximize their conference experience. The goal of this informal networking program is to help new attendees navigate the conference, form personal connections with their peers and feel welcome.

Pre-registration

Pre-registration for this program is required. Once we have a final list of Conference Connections participants, new attendees will be matched into groups with a seasoned attendee. The size of the groups is determined by the number of new and experienced program director attendees who sign up. It is our vision that your groups will network with other attendees and foster professional relationships that may last long past the end of ADPDC.

If you are faculty attending with your program director colleague who is participating in Conference Connections, you may shadow them for this program.

This program is not open to corporate sponsors.

Interested in participating as a new or seasoned attendee? Make sure to sign up when you register!

Program

Join us for the Conference Connections program on Saturday, June 6, from 10:00 a.m. – noon ET, before the Conference begins.

The Conference Connections check-in booth and program session location will be sent to participants ahead of time and listed in the program planner. Conference Connections participants will pick up their ADPDC badges and bags at this booth.

There is no need to visit the main registration booth unless you need to complete your registration payment, require further assistance or have questions for ADEA’s registration team. The main registration booth will open after the Conference Connections program ends.

During the program, new attendees will be provided an overview of what to expect during the conference and meet new and seasoned fellow attendees within their own and other groups.
