A Special Tribute to AACD PAST PRESIDENT AND ACCREDITED FELLOW Dr. Jeffrey Golub-Evans

In Orlando, the AACD will pay tribute to the late AACD Past President Dr. Jeffrey Golub-Evans, who practiced at the New York Center of Cosmetic Dentistry, and was the founder of the New York Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Dr. Golub-Evans also created the Celebration of Excellence Statuette, recently christened “The Evy,” in honor of him. The statuette is presented to Celebration of Excellence award winners.

Dr. Golub-Evans will be remembered at the Celebration of Excellence gala, and other social events throughout the conference. Since his passing, Dr. Golub-Evans has generated many thoughtful comments and remembrances from AACD members and others who were a part of his life.

Please join AACD in honoring this special individual and his contributions to the Academy.

The Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center: Everything You Need in One Location!

The Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee is in a location that can’t be beat. It’s just five miles from the gates of Epcot Center, with Disney and Disney’s Hollywood studios located two miles beyond. You won’t have to worry about driving because the Gaylord provides transportation to many Orlando theme parks and attractions to make your stay more comfortable.

Inside the Gaylord, you’ll be treated to the mists of the Everglades, island life of Key West, and Spanish charm of St. Augustine. These environments are showcased in the Gaylord’s tropical atriums that recreate what makes the Sunshine State so special.

Attendees with families can enjoy access to the Gaylord’s Cypress Springs Family Fun Water Park, shopping, a fitness center, and an arcade. Live gator feedings are also a fun attraction.

Those seeking to relax and rejuvenate during their stay can visit Relache Spa and Salon, which offers massages, facials, body scrubs and wraps, makeup services, pedicures and manicures, paraffin hand treatments, a steam room, and more.

Although the AACD will be providing breakfasts, lunches, and some evening appetizers at social receptions, the Gaylord offers numerous dining options ranging from casual American food to specialty fare at onsite restaurants like the Old Hickory Steakhouse, Wreckers Sports Bar, Mediterranean-inspired Villa de Flora, Sunset Sam’s, SandBar, and SORA, a sushi bar. There is something for everyone!

The AACD 2014 educational program is designed to elevate the clinical skills of all dental professionals.

“I always pick up pearls that I can take back to my practice and implement right away.”

— Dr. Angela Lueck AACD Members say that the annual scientific sessions offer a higher level of learning than most general dentistry conferences. If you’re looking to be challenged, AACD 2014 is the place for you.

In Orlando, you’ll learn about cosmetic dentistry’s latest advancements, emerging technologies, new clinical techniques, practice management strategies, practice marketing tips, and much more. The annual scientific session is also a great place to bond with your dental team. This year, AACD will introduce team-based courses to encourage cohesive learning.

Other courses on this year’s lineup will benefit dental professionals of all backgrounds—dentists, laboratory technicians, hygienists, students, and more.

“After almost 45 years of practice, I can still learn how to do dentistry better—so hopefully each year, I get a little bit better.”

— Dr. Joseph Heher
