ark your calendar! The 2026 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition: Bridging Pathways, Advancing Access, will take place in the vibrant city of Montréal, Canada, March 21-24, 2026.

ADEA’s signature event will bring together oral health education professionals from across the globe for inspiring sessions, collaborative learning and valuable networking opportunities you won’t want to miss.

As you begin planning your attendance, please take note of these important travel requirements:

  • Valid Passport Required: All U.S. citizens traveling to Canada must present a valid U.S. passport. Passports must be valid for six months beyond travel dates. Please check your passport expiration date and renew early if necessary.
  • Real ID Compliance: Although a Real ID is not required for international travel, it is required for U.S. domestic flights (as of May 7, 2025). Make sure your driver’s license or ID card is Real ID-compliant for airport security screening.
  • Entry Requirements: Check the latest Canadian entry requirements prior to travel, including any applicable visa or electronic travel authorization requirements for non-U.S. citizens. ADEA will provide visa letters starting in December for individuals who need them and who have registered for the conference.  For details about entry requirements by immigration or resident status, go to Visit Canada.
  • Global Entry: Consider reduced wait times, access to expedited return to the U.S. and other benefits. Applications for Global Entry can take 4 to 6 months to process. Apply Now!
