Reconnecting Practicing Hygienists with the Nation's Leading Educators and Researchers.

You Are Going to Love Your Profession!

Before we embarked on planning the EXPO, we focused on what is important to our colleagues: 
Top-notch speakers and educational programs, fun networking opportunities, and an ambiance of belonging and pride in what we do.

Are you ready for the EXPO? The excitement is building for the first-ever Dimensions’ Discovery EXPO! Here’s a little inside scoop — while it may seem like this is a brand-new idea, it’s been a long time coming. I recall several years ago talking with our Publisher, Lorene Kent, RDH, BA, and our Executive Editor, Kristen Pratt Machado, about the possibility of hosting a dental hygiene-focused event. As we discussed it, we realized that we wanted it to be something very special. We all decided that before we embarked on planning the EXPO we should really focus on what is important to our colleagues: top-notch speakers and educational programs, fun networking opportunities, and an ambiance of belonging and pride in what we do. After all, you deserve the best, and that’s what we’re bringing!

The Discovery EXPO is a two-day event specifically designed for dental hygienists. It focuses on providing continuing education (CE) credits and supporting the dental hygiene community with valuable content. This year, the EXPO will be held on September 13 and 14 at the Anaheim Hilton Hotel in Southern California.

Here are some highlights of the all-inclusive event:

  • World renowned presenters including JoAnn Gurenlian, RDH, MS, PhD, AAFAAOM, FADHA; 
Ann Eshenaur Spolarich, RDH, PhD, FSCDH; and Joan Otomo-Corgel, DDS, MPH, FACD, FICD
  • Hottest topics in the profession including AI, administering Botox and fillers, dental therapy, and medical-dental hygiene integration
  • Opportunities to earn up to 14 CE credits
  • An exhibit hall filled with all the products and techniques that help you in your practice
  • Breaks and lunch on both days and a Friday cocktail reception.
  • Networking events so you can interact with your friends and make new ones
  • Tote bags, giveaways, samples, and more
  • And … the Esther Wilkins Lifetime Achievement Award!

We are especially excited about celebrating the 2024 recipient of the Esther Wilkins Lifetime Achievement Award at the Discovery EXPO. This will be the 15th year for the award and it’s always wonderful to recognize our fellow dental hygienists for their amazing contributions to our profession. Named after the late inspirational dental hygiene leader and inaugural recipient Esther M. Wilkins, BS, RDH, DMD, the Esther Wilkins Lifetime Achievement Award is presented annually to recognize the distinguished career of a worthy dental hygiene educator who has consistently and effectively contributed to the enrichment of the profession.

It’s fitting that for our first EXPO, we will honor Dimensions of Dental Hygiene’s Editor in Chief Emerita, and instrumentation expert Anna M. Pattison, RDH, MS, with the award this year! It’s going to be a memorable occasion and we hope you can join us.

As you’ve seen the posts on social media and descriptions about EXPO, you’ll note the tagline: You’re going to love how much you learn! I might add that you’re going to love how much you interact, network, laugh, and feel excited to be a dental hygienist. See you in September!
