WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Registration is now open for the 2014 American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Annual Session & Exhibition—the premier event in dental education—taking place March 15-18 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, TX.
Event programming will be central to the theme, The Science of Learning, and will feature renowned speakers including neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author, David Eagleman, Ph.D., who will have attendees celebrating how much—and how little—is known about their conscious selves and reality in ADEA’s Opening Plenary Session presentation, “Incognito: The Secret Lives of Brains.”
“The conference theme, The Science of Learning, will bring into sharp focus our understanding of how the brain works and the implication for the ways we teach,” says Chair of the ADEA Board of Directors Stephen K. Young, D.D.S., M.S.
Over the three-day conference, attendees from throughout the United States and Canada will explore the neuroscience and neuropsychology of learning, understanding learning disabilities and the implications of new technologies on the future of learning and teaching. Both traditional and innovative teaching and assessment methodologies will be examined and how they apply to didactic and clinical teaching will be discussed.
The ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition is the most anticipated and highly attended professional education event presented by ADEA. More than 2,000 dental education community members including deans, allied and advanced program directors, administrators, faculty, students, residents and fellows come together each year for networking and professional development opportunities and to explore the more than 80 dental community partners and solution providers on display in the exhibit hall.
