ORLANDO, Fla., USA: The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) 66th Annual Session will be held May 23 to 26 in Orlando, Fla. Anyone (member or non-member dentist, dentists’ staff or dental student) who wants to attend any portion of the scientific program must register. All registration categories include all education sessions (except those specified), the welcome reception, complimentary beverages in exhibit hall and the scientific proceedings.
The guest registration is additional and must accompany that of an attendee; children are complimentary to the meeting, but tickets must be purchased for social events. Guests do not earn any continuing education credit; if seeking a C.E. certificate, spouses/guests must register as office staff.
The keynote speaker is Marcus Samuelsson, an internationally acclaimed chef, philanthropist, and a New York Times best-selling author. Samuelsson is the youngest chef to ever achieve two three-star reviews from The New York Times and he has been honored by the James Beard Foundation on multiple occasions including Rising Star Chef (1999), Best Chef: New York City (2003), Best International Cookbook (2007) and Best Television Program (for Chopped 2012). The author of several award-winning cookbooks, Samuelsson released his best-selling memoir, ”Yes, Chef,” in June 2012.
