CPD tracking
Once again, don’t forget that the Loopd token on your lanyard will keep track of the sessions you attend and how long you’re in them for, taking all the worry and stress out keeping track of your CPD activity at Congress.
Interested in dental research?
Make sure you catch the Australian Dental Research Foundation (ADRF) session at 4.50pm in Hall C where Dr Nidhi Medare and Dr Maryam Jessri, both recipients of grants from the Foundation, will speak on their respective topics.
You should also pop by the ADRF stand in the exhibition, which is situated in the big, hard-to-miss ADA stand at the entrance and place bids on the items being auctioned to raise funds to aid research which include an opal necklace, a bottle of Hermitage Grange and a bottle of Verve Cliquot. Got questions? The lovely Jane has all the answers about dental research you could ask for.
