“The AAO Annual Session has been my go-to meeting since graduating from residency. Over the years, my focus has evolved from learning about scientific and clinical topics early in my career to mastering business and staff management in private practice. Most recently, the meeting has helped me stay up-to-date with the latest technology in our industry. Annual Session provided an opportunity to unite orthodontists from all over the world to share ideas, explore new cities, and reconnect with colleagues and friends. You don’t want to miss out!”
Nellie Kim-Weroha, DDS, MS
Chair, Committee on Conferences and Meetings
Past President, Midwestern Society of Orthodontists

“Personally, it is important for me to attend the Annual Session every year. I haven’t missed a meeting since residency! It is time for me to relax, learn, catch up with old friends and support our organization. The Annual Session is our meeting!”

“The AAO Annual Session is by far my favorite event of the entire year, and this year’s event in Philadelphia is going to be the biggest party ever! With all of the top Orthodontic educators from across the globe under one roof, the learning opportunities simply cannot be beat. There will be ample time for fun and networking, and I can’t wait to connect with old friends and make new ones. As a Philadelphia resident and native, I am certain that my city will not disappoint! I look forward to seeing you all there!”
Dan Bills, DMD, MS
