March 1, 2016
The American Dental Association (ADA) 2016 annual meeting will be coming to Denver Oct. 20-23. Having the meeting in our backyard means you have a great opportunity to earn continuing education credit hours that can go toward the required 30 CE credit hours dentists and dental hygienists must earn during each licensure cycle. This is a new requirement that began March 1, the start of the 2016-18 licensure cycle.
How Can You Get CE for Free?
Volunteer opportunities as a speaker host, a room host, or an information host will be available at registration. (You will receive a code via email to use to volunteer for one of these host positions.) This is where the CE for free comes in: Those who volunteer for a day during the meeting will have their registration fees waived. This amounts to a savings of $100 per volunteer. Volunteers also receive a ticket to the Clinician’s Lounge, where they get a free meal.
When Does Registration Open?
Early registration for the ADA annual meeting opens in late April for volunteers and Colorado Dental Association members—before registration opens for other ADA members. Early registration allows Colorado dentists and their staff to register for CE courses before these courses get “sold out.”
