ACD 2009 Annual Meeting

 September 30 to October 1, 2009

The 2009 annual meeting of the American College of Dentists is a celebration of leadership in dentistry today and tomorrow. ACD 2009 is an opportunity for Fellows and guests to expand their knowledge and skills—through interactive workshops and an exciting keynote presentation—to meet their colleagues and renew friendships.

Join your colleagues in Honolulu for a most stimulating meeting. Make a point of attending the LeaderSkills workshops, the Regency Meetings, outstanding presentations, and our Convocation and Dinner Dance.

The hotel has not been finalized.
