About This Show

AI-drafted summary

The AADOM Annual Conference is the flagship event of the American Association of Dental Office Management (AADOM), and the one national event built specifically for dental office managers and practice administrators — not as an afterthought to a clinical meeting, but as the primary audience. The event is built for the business side of the dental practice: dental office managers, practice administrators, treatment coordinators, scheduling and front-desk leads, insurance and billing coordinators, and financial coordinators.

It is a premier event dedicated to dental management education, designed for professionals in dental practice leadership, featuring influential educators and industry leaders who share their insights and expertise. The 2026 edition takes place September 3–5 in Orlando, Florida. Attendees join roughly 1,000 of their peers for three days of learning and connection.

Beyond educational sessions, the gathering provides a unique environment for networking and collaboration among peers, and participants can expect to gain knowledge that enhances their skills and improves practice management. With continuing education credits, a supportive professional community, and recognition programs, it is a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to advance their dental practice management career.
