On behalf of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry (AAED), I am pleased to invite you to attend the 38th Annual Meeting, to be held in Washington, DC at the Ritz-Carlton. AAED typically hosts an invitation only annual meeting each August which is always a special event. In 2013, we are opening our meeting to all of our colleagues in dentistry. AAED meetings are known for the high caliber attendee they attract as well as the multitude of networking opportunities that abound throughout the event. While the 2013 meeting will be an open and larger event than our traditional annual meeting, what will not change is the quality of meeting that has become directly associated with the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry.
