AGD plans ‘Golden Opportunity’ in California

In addition to creating Travelocity.com, Jones is the founding chairman of Kayak.com and the executive chairman of Wayblazer. In a presentation sponsored by Colgate, he will share his knowledge on creating a culture of innovation within the dental practice and embracing the opportunities found in today’s age of information.

Innovation will be on full display at “Modern Practice for Today’s Patients” presented by Henry Schein Inc. Located in the exhibit hall, this display invites attendees to imagine the possibilities of a technologically enhanced dental office. Visitors will be able to try out cutting-edge equipment, use patient management software and catch a glimpse of the esthetic options available for transforming a practice space.

After catching a glimpse of the future in office design, attendees can get up close and personal with the future of the dental profession at the clinical and research e-poster presentations. Via captivating digital display, today’s dental students and residents will present their ideas for shaping the dental landscape of tomorrow.

Education highlights

AGD 2015’s celebration of change is most readily apparent in this year’s new continuing education tracks. The courses will help attendees focus on particular subject areas, such as endodontics, implants, and special-patient care. New this year, the AGD is presenting a 90-minute live-patient dental implant course hosted by Engel Institute founder Todd B.
