ADEA BFACA Meeting
2026 ADEA Sections on Business and Financial Administration and Clinic Administration (ADEA BFACA) Meeting
October 18–20, 2026 | Baltimore, MD
"Meeting the Moment"
Meeting the Moment—the 2026 ADEA Sections on Business and Financial Administration and Clinic Administration Meeting (ADEA BFACA)—brings together professionals shaping “the business side” of oral health education in a highly focused, member-driven forum. Join colleagues this October for ADEA BFACA, the only meeting designed by experienced business and financial administration and clinic administration leaders, especially for the business and financial administration and clinic administration community.
Meeting the Moment brings our community together to focus on real-world priorities, complexities, and challenges that face our community today. Through practical tools, candid dialogue and peer-informed programming, colleagues offer one another timely, relevant insights grounded in the evolving needs of the business, financial and clinic administration communities. Together, we will look to transform complex challenges into opportunities for resilience, innovation and growth.
The robust agenda is tailored to meet the needs of our community of professionals across the spectrum—from seasoned administrators to those stepping into leadership roles. With a dynamic mix of presentations, interactive panels and facilitated discussions, attendees will engage in cross-functional collaboration across institutions and roles while building meaningful connections with colleagues and ADEA Corporate Members.
Our shared goal is to meet this moment by strengthening business and clinical operations at our institutions by delivering actionable strategies and takeaways attendees can immediately put into practice. All who are interested in business, financial and clinical administration—and who are eager to engage with a community actively shaping the future of this work—are welcome to attend.
