AAE26 Brings the Endodontic Community Together in Salt Lake City
From April 15–18, endodontists from around the world gathered in Salt Lake City for AAE26—four dynamic days of learning, connection, and inspiration that once again affirmed the Annual Meeting as the premier event in endodontics.
Held at the Salt Palace Convention Center, this year’s meeting delivered on its promise: exceptional education, hands-on experiences, and countless opportunities to reconnect with colleagues and build new professional relationships.
A World-Class Educational Experience
AAE26 offered a comprehensive and diverse educational program designed to meet the needs of clinicians, educators, and researchers alike. Attendees engaged with trusted speakers, explored the latest techniques and research, and participated in hands-on workshops that brought clinical concepts to life.
From general sessions and specialty lectures to oral, poster, and table clinic presentations, the meeting provided a platform for sharing knowledge and advancing the science of endodontics. Participants also had the opportunity to earn continuing education credits while gaining practical insights they can bring back to their practices.
Innovation on Display
The Exhibit Hall remained a central hub of activity throughout the meeting, featuring more than 100 exhibitors showcasing the latest products, technologies, and services shaping the future of endodontic care.
With interactive demonstrations, product showcases, and corporate presentations, attendees explored new tools and solutions designed to enhance efficiency and elevate patient care. The exhibit experience also fostered meaningful conversations between clinicians and industry leaders, reinforcing the collaborative spirit of the specialty.
Connection, Community, and Career Growth
Beyond the lecture halls and exhibit floor, AAE26 offered numerous opportunities for networking and professional development. From alumni and affiliate events to the career fair connecting employers with endodontists across the country, the meeting created space for meaningful connections at every stage of a career.
As always, some of the most valuable moments happened between sessions—in hallway conversations, shared meals, and spontaneous reunions that sparked new ideas and strengthened long-standing relationships.
Celebrating the Specialty
AAE26 also highlighted the achievements and leadership within the profession through key events such as the President’s Breakfast, General Assembly, and the Edgar D. Coolidge Awards Brunch—moments that recognized excellence and honored those who continue to move the specialty forward.
The meeting concluded with a high-energy closing reception, where attendees gathered one last time to celebrate a successful week and the vibrant community that defines endodontics.
Looking Ahead
AAE26 showcased not only where the specialty is today, but where it is headed—driven by innovation, collaboration, and a shared commitment to saving natural teeth. As attendees return home with new knowledge, fresh ideas, and renewed inspiration, the impact of this year’s meeting will continue to shape practices and patient care in the months and years ahead.
