The Academy for Sports Dentistry's 41st Annual Symposium

June 13 - 15, 2024 | Las Vegas, NV

ASD's annual symposium is one of the few opportunities in North America for sports dentist to come together and share their knowledge and enthusiasm for the treatment and prevention of dental trauma and sports dentistry. Don't miss this opportunity to network and learn as an attendee and to get your brand or new products in the hands of professionals if you're a company.

If you missed us this year in Nashville, you will not want to miss us in Las Vegas! Based on feedback from past participants, we are continuing innovation for both the Symposium and Team/Sports Dentist Course.

President's Message

 

I am truly honoured to have been elected as the President of the ASD for 2023-24. This is my second time in three years as your President, and I am so grateful that you have the confidence in me to lead the ASD again. 

I want to thank Dr. Xavier Gutierrez (our Immediate Past President) for all the hard work he has put in on behalf of ASD over the past several years. I’d also like to thank Dr. Walter Chitwood (2023 Local Symposium Chair) for his tireless efforts in organizing and promoting the Nashville Symposium. This year’s Symposium was very successful and much fun! The Symposium couldn’t have been put on without the great financial support from our numerous Exhibitors and Sponsors, our amazing lecturers, and the hard-working Symposium Committee, including our three fabulous administrators.
