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.


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 Friday, July 21, 2017. 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 abstract one proposal for ADA 2017 New and Emerging Speaking Stage is June 23, 2017 at 11:59 PM EST.

The REVIEWERS timeline for ADA 2017 New and Emerging Speaking Stage is June 24- July 21, 2017 at 11:59 PM EST.
