EXPERIENCE THE 2021 ODA ANNUAL SESSION IN-PERSON AND VIRTUALLY

Participate in hands-on workshops at the 2021 ODA Annual Session which takes place Sept. 30-Oct. 2. in Columbus.

The 2021 ODA Annual Session is Sept. 30-Oct. 2 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. This year’s event features 132 in-person and 33 virtual CE credit hours so there is something for everyone!

“I am very, very excited about ODA’s 2021 Annual Session. The last 18-plus months have been very difficult, often depressing. But now, we finally have an opportunity to attend outstanding CE courses and visit with colleagues and friends in one very convenient location,” said Dr. Steve Moore, a past ODA president. “As an added bonus, we can enjoy great entertainment. I look very much forward to seeing everyone in Columbus!”

SEE NATIONALLY-KNOWN CE LECTURERS

The 2021 ODA Annual Session provides attendees the opportunity to see 45 great speakers in their own backyard. This year’s speaker lineup features noted nationally-known lecturers including Dr. Uche Odiatu, Dr. Stanley Malamed, Dr. Josh Austin, Judy Bendit, RDH and Judy Kay Mausoff to name a few.

Courses can be added online throughout Annual Session and at the on-site registration desk. Visit www.oda.org for information about what CE courses are still available.

ATTEND HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS

Shop with nearly 150 vendors live and in-person in the Exhibit Hall at the 2021 ODA Annual Session in Columbus.

For nearly two years, the ability to participate in hands-on learning has been non-existent. At this year’s ODA Annual Session, 10 different workshops are available for dentists and dental team members. From shading to appliances for sleep disorders, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) to CAMBRA integration, and radiography to endodontics, attendees have the opportunity to dive into learning like never before.

Visit www.oda.org to see what’s available and snag a spot before these popular hands-on workshops sell out.

SHOP THE IN-PERSON EXHIBIT HALL

The Exhibit Hall is rated by ODA Annual Session attendees as one of the top reasons they attend the meeting each year. This year’s Exhibit Hall features nearly 150 vendors, where attendees can comparison shop with the help of knowledgeable company representatives.

“I always look forward to the Exhibit Hall at the ODA Annual Session because it is the one time of the year that I can compare all of the latest and greatest supplies and technology in dentistry all under one roof,” said Dr. Kyle Bogan, senior exhibit chairman. “I am especially looking forward to the LIVE Exhibit Hall this year because it will not only give me a chance to actually visit with our exhibitors in person, but also because it provides such an amazing opportunity for me to network with my friends and colleagues. I hope you join me at the 2021 ODA Annual Session.”

Exhibit Hall hours:

  • Thursday, Sept. 30 from 12 to 6:30 p.m.
  • Friday, Oct. 1. from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
