The beauty of San Diego will be tempting attendees to head outside, but from Thursday, Sept. 21 to Saturday, Sept. 23, all the action will be inside the San Diego Convention Center as the 105^th AAOMS Annual Meeting takes place.

Organizers of this year’s event hope you become inspired, come away with new insights and get hands-on experience throughout the three days. The convention center floor will be packed with vendors showing off their specialty-related products and services as well as many programs you can partake in. And dozens of professionals will also be onsite for you to earn continuing education credit.

The annual meeting offers a range of subject areas to learn about and enhance your knowledge.

There are many new and exciting lectures and activities taking place at this year’s event. Attendees can learn more about facial cosmetic surgery, marketing, cybersecurity or treatment for sleep disturbance in children.

One of the most exciting offerings is the hands-on zygomatic implant course. Registered attendees will be able to work with 3-D models in the morning then get hands-on experience by spending two hours in a cadaver lab.

A new product showcase will be set up in the exhibit hall for exhibitors to showcase their latest products and services. There will be displays throughout the exhibit floor directing attendees to their booths.

Also new to the convention this year is the AAOMSopoly game. Attendees can use the mobile app to play and win prices each day. The exhibit hall will be open Thursday until 5:30 p.m., Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.

There will be several refueling stations throughout the exhibit floor where attendees can stock up on snacks and drinks. “Lunch and Learn”, “Breakfast and Learn” as well as “Snack and Learn” sessions will be available for oral and maxillofacial surgeons and their staff.

A highlight of this year’s event will be the AAOMS President’s Event being held aboard the USS Midway Museum. Dr. Paul J. Schwartz and his wife, Olga, will host the Friday night event aboard the longest- serving aircraft carrier in the 20^th century. Docked in Navy Pier, attendees to the event will be able to tour various exhibits on the ship as well as listen to music from Phat Cat Swinger, an 11-piece band performing songs from the 1950s to present day. Food and drinks will be served. Tickets are $145 or $70 for those 20 and younger.

The Hilton San Diego Bayfront is hosting the keynote lecture, opening ceremony, awards presentation and meeting dedication, welcome reception and select educational sessions and social functions. More information on specific educational sessions is available at www.aaoms.org/meetings-exhibitions/annual-meeting/ and on the official meeting app.
