AI-drafted summary

The New Orleans Dental Conference (NODC) & LDA Annual Session is Louisiana's state dental meeting, bringing together dentists and their teams for continuing education, exhibits, and networking in the heart of New Orleans. Held over three days, the conference lets attendees earn up to 18 hours of continuing education (C.E.) credit through courses taught by leading names in the dental profession.

The event is designed for the whole dental practice. Dentists, hygienists, dental technicians, and additional staff members are all invited to attend, making it a practical destination for team-based learning. Alongside the education program, the Louisiana Dental Association holds its Annual Session, where delegates discuss the role of organized dentistry across the state.

Beyond the classroom, the Exhibit Hall is a central draw, giving attendees the chance to discover new products, technologies, and services, meet industry experts, and learn about the latest trends in dentistry. Combined with the food, music, and culture of New Orleans, NODC blends professional development with the appeal of one of America's most distinctive host cities.

History

The New Orleans Dental Conference has deep roots in Louisiana dentistry, with a documented line of conference chairpersons beginning in 1948. Over the decades it has grown into the combined New Orleans Dental Conference & LDA Annual Session, the state's signature dental meeting.

The conference is organized under the auspices of the New Orleans Dental Association and the Louisiana Dental Association (LDA), and is affiliated with the American Dental Association. Its stated mission is to provide continuing dental education to members and to dental practitioners and ancillary personnel on a regional, national, and international level. In years when New Orleans hosted the ADA Annual Session, the local conference gave way to that national meeting, reflecting the city's long-standing role as a dental education destination.
