It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the CAPD/ACDP 2025 Annual Conference in the vibrant city of Calgary, Alberta. This year’s meeting promises to be an exceptional gathering of pediatric dental professionals, offering invaluable education, collaboration, and camaraderie.
We are kicking off on Thursday September 18, 2025, with an exceptional pre-course by SuperMouth, Oral Care Products Uncovered: 10 Myths That Could Be Holding Your Patients—Young & Old—Back, presented by the Dr. Kami Hoss. This session will provide critical insights into the evolving landscape of oral care products and how they impact our patients’ health.
Our Scientific Committee, alongside the CAPD/ACDP National Annual Conference Committee and the Local Organizing Committee, chaired by the dedicated Dr. Sarah Hulland, has put together a spectacular weekend. We have curated a lineup of renowned speakers and top-tier educational courses, all centered around this year’s important theme: Navigating the 'Rocky' Road to Mental Health. As pediatric dentists, we recognize the growing need to address mental health not only in our patients but also in ourselves and our profession, and this conference will provide key discussions on this crucial topic.
Beyond the lectures and workshops, our Annual Conference is also about reconnecting with colleagues and celebrating our shared passion for pediatric dentistry. Join us Friday evening for the Welcome Reception, where we will gather in a relaxed atmosphere to network and unwind. Then, on Saturday night, we will conclude the meeting in style with the President’s Dinner and Dance—an evening of friendship and celebration.
I look forward to welcoming each of you to Calgary and to an unforgettable weekend of learning, inspiration, and connection. Thank you for your commitment to our profession and for being part of the CAPD/ACDP community.
See you in Calgary!
