2026-2027 Series

FIRST ROUND'S ON US.

Being a new dentist comes with plenty of firsts — your first job, your first big career decisions and maybe even your first local component meeting. Why not make that one a little more fun?

That’s where New Dentist Meet Ups come in. Before select local component meetings, we’re bringing new dentists together for drinks, appetizers and a chance to connect before heading into the meeting together.

Start making connections! Grab a drink, meet other new dentists and head into the meeting with a few friendly faces already in the room. Registration also includes the evening’s CE lecture, along with dinner and, depending on the component, additional drinks.

Members can belong to the local component most convenient for them, so choose the Meet Up stop that works best for you!
