Annual Spring Meeting celebrates ODA and its 150 years of organized dentistry in Ontario Welcome to ASM150, the Annual Spring Meeting that this year is celebrating the Ontario Dental Association’s 150th anni- versary. The agenda features speakers, clinical demonstrations, networking and entertainment, much like the ODA’s first scientific session did in 1889. What’s not the same is that today the meeting attracts more than 12,000 dental professionals, has an agenda featuring more than 90 internationally recognized speakers and features more than 350 com- panies displaying products and services in more than 75,000 square feet of exhibit space. According to the ODA, the three-day annual meeting and trade show today enjoys a reputation as one of the largest and most respected dental conventions in North America. And as a bonus, it all takes place against the backdrop of one of the world’s most vibrant cities, Toronto, with shopping, din- ning, entertainment and cultural attrac- tions that bring visitors year-round from around the globe. Co-presented with the Canadian Dental Association, ASM150 also features ADA CERP-recognized continuing education. You can earn six C.E. points per day, to a maximum of 18 for the three days.
