The New and Emerging Speaker Series is for new presenters who have never presented at a major (i.e., Hinman, Yankee, Chicago Midwinter, etc.) dental meeting including the ADA Annual Meeting.

*Note: ONLY ONE ABSTRACT PROPOSAL PER SUBMITTER WILL BE ACCEPTED.


The ADA's New and Emerging Speaker Series offers up-and-coming professional educators the chance to present a one-hour lecture at the annual meeting. A select few will have the opportunity to present at a future annual meeting and become part of a highly recognized group of presenters. New and Emerging Speakers will also be seen by scouts from other dental meetings, promoted on the annual meeting website and listed in the Onsite Guide.

The Committee on Annual Meetings will review all proposals and notify individuals of their acceptance by April 30, 2018. New and Emerging Speaker Series presenters are responsible for their own registration, housing and travel expenses, and arrangements. Presenters are not eligible for compensation by the ADA.

The deadline to SUBMIT ONE PROPOSAL*for ADA 2018 New and Emerging Speaking Stage has been extended until April 6, 018 at 11:59 PM EST.

The REVIEWERS timeline for ADA 2018 New and Emerging Speaking Stage begins April 7, 2018 at 11:59 PM EST.
