Become a Speaker
Thank you for your interest in presenting at CDA Presents. As one of the top dental meetings in the country, CDA Presents receives many offers from speakers. While it’s no reflection on the quality or content of the presentations received, CDA cannot invite all perspective speakers to participate. CDA’s policy is to invite only speakers that have been scouted by our Board of Managers at other major dental conventions.
If you are a company, there are other opportunities as an exhibitor to sponsor education. Reach out to Sue Gardner, Director of Integrated Sales, [email protected] to explore those opportunities.
The Scouting Process
CDA offers an opportunity for speakers to be scouted at CDA Presents in Anaheim during a 60 minute presentation on the New Speaker Series. Our conventions are planned up to 18 months in advance, with the programs selected according to topics most timely and relevant to the profession. Please note that due to the volume of proposals we receive, we are only able to contact those who are selected to speak. Presenters are provided with an honorarium of $800, but are expected to pay their own travel and lodging expenses.
How to Apply
To submit a course for consideration, please complete the application, which will be forwarded to the future essay chair for review.
On behalf of the California Dental Association and our Board of Managers, we wish you much success in your speaking career.
