DENVER, Colo., USA: Dental professionals will be welcomed to ADA 2016 — America’s Dental Meeting with two programs that bookend the opening day: The opening general session, presented by ACT Oral Care, is scheduled for Oct. 20 from 8 to 9 a.m. at the Bellco Theatre at the Colorado Convention Center, and later that day the Mountain Mixer will convene at the exhibit hall from 4:30 to 6 p.m. ADA 2016 – America’s Dental Meeting is convening in Denver from Oct. 20 to 24.

The opening general session will feature a number of dentists from across the country sharing their personal stories — how being a dentist has made a difference in their lives and enabled them to make an impact on their practices, families and communities.

The four featured member speakers are Drs. Christina Rosenthal of Memphis, Tenn., Dawn Wehking of Lafayette, Colo., Daryn Lu of Shawnee, Okla., and David Hochberg of Atlanta.

Along with a preprogram performance by the University of Colorado–Denver’s a cappella group MIX, the session also will feature an awards presentation to Dr. Frank Andolino, the ADA Humanitarian of the Year, and Dr. Peter Dawson, the ADA Distinguished Service Award winner.

Later that day, the annual meeting’s exhibit hall will host the Mountain Mixer, open to all registered attendees.

The mixer will provide an opportunity to socialize and network with fellow dental professionals against a backdrop of live entertainment, food and complimentary craft-beer tasting. It will also enable attendees to experience Denver’s diverse and active outdoor lifestyle, including a climbing wall, BMX bikers and slackline jumpers. The Denver Broncos Stampede Drumline, a bluegrass band and Spinphony — a pop baroque string quartet — will all perform during the mixer.
