SmileCon™ is the ADA’s annual meeting, reimagined for the future.
From dentists to dental hygienists and business assistants to lab
techs, SmileCon brings together dental professionals from around
the U.S. and 50+ other countries. SmileCon 2022 will be a dental
meeting to the power of 3—we are combining SmileCon with
the Greater Houston Dental Society’s Star of the South and Texas
Dental Association Annual Meeting. The TDA meeting will not
be held in 2022 and the GHDS Star of the South meeting will
not be held in 2023.
Dental Central—formerly known as the Exhibit Hall—is the hub
of activity at SmileCon, both for socializing and for business. Now
with three meetings in one, you will have more attendees on the
floor, meaning more potential customers for you. Dental Central
will continue to be the place for quality networking and more
opportunities for attendees to “do” rather than just “watch.”
