The 160th Midwinter Meeting, hosted by the Chicago Dental Society (CDS), continues to be a premier event for dental professionals worldwide. Incoming CDS President Dr. Denise Hale highlights its enduring success, new collaborations, and a focus on engaging early-career dentists.
Celebrated for its comprehensive scientific programme and exhibit hall, the event draws tens of thousands annually. Attendees gain insights from top speakers, explore cutting-edge dental innovations, and network with peers. “The Midwinter Meeting consistently delivers the best continuing education and a vibrant showcase of the latest in dentistry,” says Dr. Hale.
This year introduces a partnership with the Pankey Institute, offering a three-day, 24-hour CE course covering aesthetics, occlusion, restorative techniques, and patient-centered care. Topics at the meeting range from artificial intelligence and sleep medicine to lasers and surgical techniques, ensuring relevance for all career stages.
