Over 3 days, this exhilarating event hosts a rich program of industry-leading keynotes and speakers, education sessions, product experiences, and hands-on labs, and fun presentations exploring the most topical subjects shaping the future of dental hygiene. The Annual Conference reflects the core issues of dental hygiene – seamlessly blending inspiration and practical application with an expert conference program boasting more leading oral healthcare minds focused on dental hygiene than anywhere else, along with hands-on workshops, awards, and networking opportunities.
Whether you’re attending the Annual Conference for the first time or you’ve joined us for many years, we’re eager to welcome you to Phoenix where you will be part of an experience like no other.
"I am beyond excited to welcome you to ADHA 2021 Phoenix. For three days, we’ll experience what empowers, supports and inspires us to keep moving our profession forward. 2020 brought unexpected challenges. It also brought us together like never before. I am so proud of the way our community rose to the challenge and emerged stronger. None of us could have predicted how the global health crisis would impact our professional and personal lives. For dental hygienists, especially. Together, we advocated and advanced workplace safety for you and your patients. Your courage and commitment to oral health in the face of adversity inspires us all. We are working diligently with our partners in Phoenix to ensure we can gather safely this summer. We’ll continue to keep you updated on the latest plans and precautions along the way. I can’t wait to see you soon!" - Lisa Moravec, RDH, MSDH, ADHA President
