When was the last time you learned something new that you could implement in your practice immediately, without first having to buy costly new products or technology? At AGD2025, the focus is on CE that you can implement Monday when you return to your practice. Learn new techniques, hone your skills, and return to your practice refreshed and ready to put your new tricks to work right away. 

Hands-On Learning 
AGD’s scientific sessions are always known for exceptional hands-on courses that specifically relate to the needs of general dentists. After learning from world-renowned experts in lecture courses, attendees can immediately practice what they’ve learned in one of the Learning Labs. 

Learn from Your Peers 
Celebrate AGD’s spirit of camaraderie and collaboration, and learn from your peers with AGD2025’s Take the Floor series, where speakers will present symposium-style sessions featuring timely and relevant topics in dentistry. These 45-minute presentations (35 minutes of lecture, followed by 10 minutes for Q&A) allow experts to explore clinical topics and innovations as well as mental and physical well-being. Participants will gain invaluable insights into the field’s most pressing challenges, enhancing their professional growth. Speakers consist primarily of your fellow AGD members, including FAGD and MAGD awardees. 

A Conference Experience Crafted for New Dentists 
Calling all students, residents and new grads! If you are a student enrolled in dental school or a residency program or a dentist who graduated within the last five years, AGD2025 has extra benefits tailored to your needs. The New Dentist Lounge provides students, residents and new grads with a dedicated space to connect, learn and grow. Highlights of the lounge include dedicated CE sessions, collaborative workshops, mentorship events and networking opportunities.
