FAQ

The Bay Area Dental Expo is scheduled for Friday, September 27, 2024 from 8 am until 5:30 pm, followed by an evening reception with light bites, beverages and networking from 5:30 pm until 7:30 pm. The Expo will resume on Saturday, September 28, 2024 from 8am until 5:30 pm at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

The Expo is a pioneering event focusing on dental innovation and the future of the dental profession. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with dental professionals from Northern California, attend more than 15 in-person presentations across two stages, engage in lively networking, and gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies and materials.

The content is carefully curated to showcase emerging technologies such as digital imagery, 3D printing, machine learning, AI-assisted diagnostics and design, and more.

The Bay Area Dental Expo is produced by the Santa Clara County Dental Society in collaboration with a coalition of Bay Area Dental Societies including Contra Costa County Dental Society, Marin County Dental Society, Monterey Bay Dental Society, Mid-Peninsula Dental Society, San Francisco Dental Society, San Mateo County Dental Society, and Southern Alameda County Dental Society.

All of our main stage speaker presentations will provide CE credits based on the length of the presentation.
If you attend every main stage presentation on both days, you’ll be eligible for 11 CE units. (4.5 units on Friday, 6.5 Saturday)
 
Most of our stage 2 speaker presentations will provide CE credit as well. At this time, we anticipate only two of our stage 2 speaker presentations will not provide credit.

Dentists and their teams will be able to obtain CE credit for these presentations.
