See You in Orlando!

Last June, at the AGD’s Annual Meeting & Exhibits in San Diego, the AGD assembled the largest class of new Fellows and Masters in our history. In addition, our attendees enjoyed exceptional continuing education (CE) with more participation classes than ever before, and outstanding social activities, exhibits, and tours.

Well, guess what? We hope to top that this summer at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, where we will hold the 56th Annual Meeting & Exhibits from July 16 to 20, 2008.

AGD2008Orlando will offer more than four days of CE credits. Dentists will come from around the world to receive this high-quality CE, network with colleagues, and experience one of the most innovative exhibit hall experiences, complete with mini-lectures and the chance to earn participation credits while on the exhibit floor!

Our Premier Celebration on Saturday night is sure to be a rockin’ good time, too, because it will offer an unbelievable music experience for every taste, as we honor our new AGD Fellows, Masters, and other awardees! In addition, many of the new features and special events of AGD2007SanDiego are back for 2008, including the Welcome Attendee Reception, Youth Celebration, and Kids’ Corner. The AGD Annual Meetings & Exhibits get better every year—we can’t wait for you to see what’s planned for AGD2008Orlando!

We also have a few new things in store that are unique to the AGD2008Orlando experience, including the Family Breakfast with the Disney characters, Dental Team Day in the Exhibit Hall, the Wake-up Call Breakfast, and the Dental Team Breakfast. The AGD Annual Meeting & Exhibits offers opportunities for every member of your dental team. And, with your full registration, you can bring your dental team to the meeting for free! You may register team members under your name or they may register individually. Visit the AGD2008Orlando Web site at www.agd2008orlando.org to learn more!

When you aren’t expanding your knowledge in one of our outstanding educational courses, you can explore one of the nation’s greatest theme parks. Orlando is warm and sunny year-round, and it offers unique adventures for kids of all ages, so bring the family! Childhood is a place you can revisit time and again at the Walt Disney World Resort.

So, please join us as for four fabulous days of fun, CE, food, and excitement.
I look forward to seeing you there!
