Welcome to the 2023 ADEA Allied Dental Program Directors’ Conference Program Planner 

The 2023 ADEA Allied Dental Program Directors’ Conference—the only conference for allied dental program directors, by allied dental program directors—is back in person on June 3-6 in Indianapolis, IN!

Ensuring a diverse, equitable and inclusive climate and a culture of belonging and authenticity are essential to empowering both ourselves and our faculty―and critical to helping our programs thrive. This year, we will continue with vital sessions on wellness, mindfulness and resilience. Our beloved Pecha Kucha presentations will promote lively discussion on important topics, plus core programming around management of inappropriate patient behavior and making work more human. We will lift one another up during this high-energy, supportive, truly transformational conference, and leave as stronger―more empowered―leaders with top strategies for promoting diverse, inclusive and equitable programs.

*NOTE: Session information is subject to change and some presenters may not have provided ADEA with PowerPoints or handouts.
