ADA 24th New Dentist Conference:
Surf’s Up in San Diego
June 24–26, 2010
Catamaran Resort Hotel & Spa

Spectacular Speakers in Sunny San Diego! The all-inclusive ADA 24th New Dentist Conference: Surf's Up in San Diego will be held June 24–26, 2010 at the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa in San Diego.

Join the ADA Committee on the New Dentist for a weekend of unique networking, 15 hours of continuing education and an enhanced full day of leadership programming that can help you in your role as a leader—personally, professionally and as a new dentist volunteer.

Every dentist needs continuing education, but what sets the ADA's New Dentist Conference apart is that it caters to the unique needs of new dentists—dentists who have been in practice less than ten years. Each clinical, professional issue and practice management course is hand selected by the ADA's Committee on the New Dentist, providing you with the opportunity to strengthen your clinical and practice knowledge so that you can better achieve personal and professional success. And to help you further develop your leadership skills, plan to attend the enhanced full day of leadership programming on Thursday. Plus, all lunches are included as well as the Friday Night Event—a Luau at the Catamaran Resort.
