NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: The American Academy of Periodontology will host its 100th anniversary annual meeting in San Francisco from Sept. 19 to 22. The “City by the Bay” will be the site of the 100th year AAP commemoration meeting. Several popular annual meeting features will be back at this year’s event, taking place at the Moscone West Convention Center.
With fanfare in full swing, returning favorites will make you feel at home, such as “Town Square,” Saturday afternoon’s corporate forum and the Dental Hygiene Symposium, facilitated through the California Society of Periodontists.
Program highlights abound, beginning with the opportunity to participate in a half-day pre-meeting workshop on sedation management, complete with “SimMan.”
Join AAP President Stuart J. Froum, DDS, with your Saturday morning cup of coffee on Sept. 20 as he addresses the membership and looks back on the academy’s first 100 years, including a video tribute to the legends of periodontology.
Then settle in for an “armchair conversation” with Drs. Kenneth Kornman, Myron Nevins and Robert Schallhorn in the opening general session. Now expanded to five hours, the student event — “Brave New World: Transitioning from Classroom to Career” — will cover such topics as insurance needs and how to become an associate. Attendees will be able to discuss a case with a clinician, arriving at a treatment plan. In addition, students can learn the basics of board certification from an ABP director, with the day’s activities culminating in a reception.
On Sunday, celebrate the academy’s centennial with an exciting evening of entertainment and hors d’oeuvres at the headquarters hotel, the San Francisco Marriott Marquis. Before putting on your dancing shoes, make yourself heard at the AAP General Assembly, where results can shape the future of this organization.
Close out this meeting by taking part in a two-day hands-on workshop on dental implant microsurgery, given by Dr. Dennis Shanelec at the Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy campus in Foster City. Your registration fee will include use of the facility’s equipment, three nights’ accommodations, shuttle service and all meals.
All of these events and more will be available on the AAP Annual Meeting smartphone app. Look for it in the iTunes App Store, Android Market and BlackBerry App World.
