It’s Official, We Will See You in “The Hub” for AAPD 2021!

We are excited to announce that plans for AAPD 2021 have been moved to an entirely all-virtual format, get ready to join us in The Hub!

With 2020 behind us, we are all hopeful for a fresh start in this New Year. Here at AAPD, we must continue to put the health, safety, and wellbeing of our members and their families at the forefront of all we do. While we were hopeful that 2021 would bring us together in-person, we must still err on the side of caution, which is why we have made the difficult decision to cancel AAPD 2021 in Boston.

Understanding that this is difficult news to hear and digest, please remember we don’t make these decisions lightly. AAPD Leadership has thought of every possible option and avenue when it comes to this meeting. Unfortunately, there are limitations to hosting a meeting in Boston that we cannot get around. The City of Boston continues to have COVID restrictions in place, limiting the number of people gathering in groups for large meetings and there is no guarantee that these measures will be lifted by the time AAPD 2021 takes place in May. We are confident that we can still bring you the meeting you have come to know and love, just from the convenience of your home or office! With that being said, get excited and get ready for The Hub!

We certainly received great feedback from NashVirtual this past year, and we strive to exceed the expectations of our membership. We have taken suggestions from our members very seriously, which is why we want you to know that The Hub will be an enhanced virtual experience! AAPD staff has had this past year to research vendors for our platform, to network and collaborate with peers in the industry, and to educate ourselves, all in order to bring you the best virtual experience for AAPD 2021.

Get ready for an outstanding educational program, jam-packed with incredible speakers on a variety of relevant topics in pediatric dentistry, an enhanced and interactive 3D exhibit hall, and even more ways to interact with your peers and colleagues to make up for the time you can’t spend in person.

Registration will open in February so stay tuned for updates on that date! If you can’t wait that long to start planning your time in The Hub, be sure to check out the full list of sessions here. An important note is that you will have the ability to earn up to 50+ CE Hours that you can claim for the next few years, and for reference, when in-person, you can only earn up to around 23 CE Hours, making this a deal you won’t want to miss! The AAPD has created several pricing tiers and packages to fit every budget, we are sure you will find something right for you. Stay tuned for more information on registration, schedule, and more!

In the meantime, we hope you share this news with your colleagues, teammates, and friends. Additional information and details will be available in the coming weeks.

As always, stay safe & healthy. Until we meet again, in THE HUB!
