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.

Social events include the welcome reception at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a theme park with a motion-picture theme covering the Golden Age of the Silver Screen through to the Disney-Pixar partnership. Attractions, shows, shops and restaurants are exclusively available to AAPD members for the evening. Other networking events include a 5K run/walk at Epcot Center, a career opportunities fair, new pediatric dentist happy hour, international reception and the president’s farewell dinner at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel.

Also available are a number of tours and theme-park packages, including: Airboats and Alligators, Kennedy Space Center, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Behind-The-Scenes, SeaWorld Private Tour, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, Disney’s Magic Kingdom Backstage — as well as other special Disney theme park prices and hours.
