Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | March 2015 a9 Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, the EMP Museum and some of the top thought leaders in pediatric dentistry are among the reasons to be in Seattle May 21–24 for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) annual session. Scientific sessions are at the Washington State Convention Center, in the heart of downtown, adjacent to hotels, restaurants, nightlife and shopping. Taking advantage of the location, the welcome reception on Thursday, May 21, features exclusive access to the Space Needle, EMP Muse- um and Chihuly Gardens. The keynote, on May 22, features Frank Abag- nale with “The True Story of Catch Me If You Can.” An authority on forgery, embezzlement and se- cure documents, Abagnale became an expert of sorts 40 years ago as a world-famous con man, as depicted in his best-selling book, “Catch Me If You Can.” Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks starred in a Steven Spielberg film based on the book. Attendees must register for the meeting prior to making hotel reservations to get the meeting rate. Hotels in the AAPD official block are the Sheraton Seattle (headquarter hotel), the Grand Hyatt Seattle, the Hyatt at Olive 8, the Fairmont Pediatric dentists convening in Seattle from May 21–24 Olympic, the Crowne Plaza, the Hilton Seattle and the Renaissance Seattle. Three-day exhibit hall Products and services in the meeting’s exhibit hall will be geared toward pediatric dental prac- tices. An AAPD booth will have a bookstore, which will have copies of the Coding Manual, the new pediatric dentistry handbook. Also in the exhibit hall will be the Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children Donor Lounge, where you can learn more about Access to Care Grants and donate to its supporting foundation. The exhibit hall schedule provides attendees plenty of time to explore without conflicting with education courses, while also leaving time to enjoy the city. A hospitality area on the ex- hibit hall floor will offer a continental breakfast, and there will be complimentary beverages each morning and afternoon and lunch available for purchase.
