NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: “America’s Dental Meeting” is Oct. 9-14 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio. The “Alamo City” will welcome thousands of dental professionals, families and friends for the 2014 American Dental Association annual session. President George W. Bush is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the opening session at the Alamodome.

The meeting features more than 300 continuing education courses, C.E. options before and during the official dates, more than 550 companies and organizations represented in the exhibit hall, the second ADA Mission of Mercy charitable dental event, a variety of special events, networking opportunities and the annual House of Delegates meeting.

You can find detailed descriptions of the continuing education courses, the listing of exhibitors and information on special events, hotels, attractions and registration in the preliminary program available through the meeting website, www.ada.org/session. Meeting-goers will also be able to use the online schedule builder eventScribe to plan their schedules.

Plan out your exhibit hall visit

Hours for the exhibit hall, in the convention center, are: 10:30 a.m.–6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 9; 8 a.m.–5:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 10; and 9:30 a.m.–3 p.m, on Saturday, Oct. 11.

With more than 550 companies on the exhibit hall floor, it might be worth planning out your visit in advance. To help, the ADA 2014 exhibit hall floor plan is available at www.ada.org/session, enabling you to search for exhibitors by name or product category. You also can create a “My Expo” account to save a list of exhibitors you’d like to visit. To make it even easier, you can print a custom map of the exhibit floor with your preferred exhibitors and their booth numbers.

You also can build a meal strategy around the exhibit hall, courtesy of Bistro ADA, which features an all-inclusive buffet lunch and advance table reservations. Ticket information is available online. Bistro ADA offers attendees a comfortable setting to eat, meet and network.
