A Heartfelt Thanks to all the 2024 GDA Convention Attendees. You Made This Year Unforgettable! 💙

This year's Convention was definitely one for the books! We were smiling ear to ear all week long – thanks entirely to YOU!

It was such a joy to connect and reconnect with everyone, especially under the beachy vibes! We're incredibly grateful for each and every one of you: exhibitors showcasing amazing products, sponsors for your valuable partnership, speakers sparking inspiration, dentists keeping those smiles bright, guests joining the fun, students soaking it all in, and everyone else who played a part. It truly takes a village, and we're so thankful you're a part of ours.

Your presence and participation made the Convention truly unforgettable. We hope you made some incredible connections (and maybe even enjoyed some time on the beach).

Get ready for the 2025 GDA Convention & Expo – we can't wait to make it even more special!
