The Feb. 7-9, 2020 Winter Conference will be in Austin, Texas.
Drs. Greg Huang and Jim Vaden have put together a strong group of speakers. The topic is Open Bites, Treatment and Retention. These are our most difficult and least stable cases. All treatment possibilities will be discussed. Dr Huang is planning to present the results of the Practice Based Research Network (PBRN) open bite study. Registration is now open. Attendees will learn treatment pearls that can be immediately put to use in practice. Austin is a popular destination
with meetings. Dust off your cowboy boots and plan to attend.

This schedule change is in response to member requests. If well received, it will be the format for future meeting planning. You will want to make plans to arrive by 9:00 A.M. Friday morning for the opening of the exhibit hall. The scientific and staff lectures begin at 1:00 pm. The Opening ceremony is Friday evening in the Mercedes Stadium where the 2019 Super Bowl was played. Admission is included in your registration. It will be a fun event with plenty of food, drink and entertainment. Saturday evening will be devoted to the Alumni Receptions and The International Reception in the Coca Cola Museum. The Excellence Luncheon on Sunday will feature Pulitzer prize winning Presidential author, John Meachum who gave the eulogy for President George HW Bush and immediately rose to stardom. The Sunday evening Celebration will be held in the Atlanta Aquarium, the world’s largest. Everything is easily accessible with short walks to hotels and restaurants. We are hosting the World’s Premier Orthodontic Meeting and showcasing our Southern hospitality. Mark your calendar for AAO Atlanta 2020.
There is much more that I can share but it suffices to say that the AAO has positioned itself for the future. Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments. This has been a wonderful opportunity to make a difference.
