AACD advanced tuition rates end April 5 Advanced tuition rates for AACD 2013, the annual meeting of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), will end April 5 at 5 p.m. CT. Many courses and all social events are still available. Those who register before April 5 will receive $150 off of their tuition price. Other discounts are offered for first-time lab technicians and first-time attendees. Non-members who register for AACD 2013 will receive a one-year membership in AACD included with their tuition. For a full tuition schedule, visit the website www.aacdconference.com. The AACD 2013 scientific session is April 24–27 in Seattle. “One of the things that makes AACD’s meeting unique is that we do not charge for individual workshops and lectures — everything is included,” said AACD President Ron Goodlin. “Ad- ditionally, if [attendees] register for our meeting next year — AACD 2014 in Or- lando — while in Seattle, they will save $300.” The conference also provides members with numerous networking opportuni- ties, including access to the AACD exhibit hall and its associated socials, breakfasts and lunches. Other cost savings the AACD offers its members include free access to online ed- ucational providers DentalXP and HDiQ Dental, and discounts on many products and services. For access to DentalXP alone, dental professionals pay more than $490 per year. AACD-member dentists also receive free customizable patient educa- tion videos that they can share on their practice websites, through social media or in the office. AACD members also re- ceive discounts on dental products and supplies. Through AACD buying power, members can save money on products and equipment they are already buying — which, according to the academy can amount to thousands of dollars per year. “When you join AACD, you’re not only receiving the benefit of being a part of a professional dental community, you’re also benefiting financially,” Goodlin said. “AACD saves its members thousands of dollars per year — you just have to take full advantage of your benefits.” For more information about the AACD, visit www.aacd.com.
