Looking ahead to 2026
While AO is still riding the high from its 2025 Annual Meeting in Seattle, it is also feverishly finalizing plans for its 2026 Annual Meeting.
Plan now to attend “Make a Difference: Transforming the Lives of Our Patients and Ourselves” March 5 – 7 in Washington, DC.
Under the leadership of Program Chair, Paul A. Fugazzotto, DDS, AO Annual Meeting Committee Chair, Jeffrey Ganeles, DMD, and President Robert C. Vogel, DDS, the Academy will also continue to offer exciting features such as the AO Town Hall, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, the Awards Ceremony and Prize Drawing, the Emerging Leaders Case Competition, and all presentations in brilliant, state-of-the-art 4K LED screen technology.
There will also be single track programming in the main ballroom starting with the Opening Symposium: It’s All About the Why; then subsequently the topics of: Start With the Why: Treatment of the Partially Dentate Patient; Start With the Why: Treatment of the Full-arch Patient; Mild to Moderate Atrophy, Severe Atrophy; Complications: Why We Have Them; Business of Implant Dentistry and the Closing Symposium: Answering Our Why.
Kicking off your opportunity to engage with the 2026 Annual Meeting will be the Call for Abstracts. The Academy invites you to submit original abstracts for Oral Clinical and Oral Scientific Research, Clinical Innovations, and ePosters. In addition, 30 Student Travel Grants will be awarded by the Osseointegration Foundation.
Watch AO’s website, communications and social media for the kickoff announcement in June.
