NZDA is delighted to invite members to the NZDA Annual Conference to be held in Auckland from 19 to 22 August 2015. Dental therapists and hygienists are encouraged to attend a CPD day Thursday and Dental Surgery Assistant's on the Friday. Once again there are a number of specific parts of the programme specifically targeted to young dentists and the final year dental class will also attend for the employment fair, and the young dentist components of the Conference.
The Programme
The scientific programme draws on a diverse range of international presenters. In addition to these prominent overseas speakers there is an excellent line up from New Zealand. Together they present a broad range of topics from fields of minimally invasive dentistry, oral medicine, aesthetic dentistry, orthodontics, and dental trauma through to clinically orientated lectures on caries management, endodontics and on adhesive dentistry techniques.
NZDA will again stage a large three day Dental Exhibition in conjunction with the Conference. Friday afternoon is the "open expo" for all oral health professionals. A small number of specialised workshops and masterclasses will be held during this afternoon, providing further opportunity to obtain CPD. The Dental Industry has provided significant support for which we are very grateful.
Social highlights
No NZDA Conference would be complete without a comprehensive social programme and 2015 is no exception with hospitality starting on Wednesday evening with the Opening Ceremony and Presidents Reception located at Shed 10, Queens Wharf, in the Viaduct precinct. Friday is the Conference Dinner at the Town Hall and this year's theme is "Villains and Superheroes".
2015 marks the 100th year since the formation of the RNZDC. The NZDA is delighted to host this Centenary reception and invites current and past RNZDC members to come and share the RNZDC esprit de corps.
