#GrowWithASDA: Annual Session 2020

ASDA’s Annual Session, March 4-7 in St. Louis, will bring together students from every U.S. dental school to vote on association policy and elect leaders. Beyond the business of the association, it’s an opportunity to connect with your peers, learn more about hot topics in dentistry and celebrate chapter successes.

It’s also your chance to envision your future and prepare for how to get there. While at Annual Session, you’ll network at the Dental Expo, Gold Crown Awards ceremony and the President’s Gala, as well as participate in sessions that are both educational and inspiring.

Keynote Presentation: The Power to Stand

He’ll demonstrate how attitude, effort and purpose can navigate the most challenging obstacles.
