ADEA Fall Meetings

2025 ADEA Fall Meetings

Oct. 15-17, 2025 | Colorado Springs, CO

The ADEA Fall Meetings provides a unique environment for those with various professional roles and interests to find common ground and learn from other perspectives that together move dental education forward. Faculty, staff and administrators tackle today’s critical issues and navigate the rapidly changing landscape of dental education from all angles. ADEA Councils conduct their mid-year business and attend joint education sessions.

New this year, on day one of the three-day ADEA Fall Meetings event, ADEA is offering a professional development workshop entitled “Resiliency in Action: Sustainable Strategies for Oral Health Educators.” Grounded in Commission on Dental Accreditation standards that emphasize a humanistic and respectful environment, critical thinking, problem-solving, innovation and life-long learning, workshop sessions will equip participants with practical tools to build organizational resilience, implement sustainable change and navigate institutional complexity. A reception and poster session are included.

During the second and third days of the 2025 ADEA Fall Meetings, in addition to Council business meetings, joint sessions and networking events, the ADEA Council of Advanced Education Programs is sponsoring the ADEA Advanced Dental Education Summit. The summit is an immersive event for emerging and senior leaders in advanced dental education that will focus on faculty development, leadership and wellness, and feature keynote presentations, collaborative sessions and peer learning opportunities. All interested ADEA Fall Meetings attendees are welcome to attend.

Join us to connect with colleagues, learn from the varied perspectives across oral health education, collaborate on new approaches and leave with key insights and fresh approaches to implement at your institution.
