The CDA is proud to present its 131st Annual Session June 8-10 in Crested Butte. Attendees can partake in CE courses, network with colleagues and, of course, enjoy one of Colorado’s most beautiful and quaint towns.
Speakers and Courses
The CDA offers a range of educational and CE courses for attendees of the Annual Session. We make every effort to present high-caliber speakers.

If you’d like to be a delegate, contact your component president or the CDA (303-996-2844 or molly@cdaonline.org). Prior experience is not necessary, and we encourage anyone interested to participate. The role of a delegate allows you to learn about and take action on issues affecting your profession. It’s also a great opportunity for new dentists to get involved and network with other dentists statewide. The deadline to submit your name is April 2.
The House of Delegates also will vote on resolutions brought forth by CDA members. If you or your component would like to submit a resolution, do so in writing to molly@cdaonline.org by April 2. Download the New Resolution Form.
