International Academy of Contemporary Dentistry created the iACD New Speaker Podium Series to encourage a rising generation of dentists to develop practical, innovative solutions to tackle the many medical challenges that dental professionals observe daily from their interaction with patients.
If you have an ongoing research idea or a clinical best practice to share, we want to hear from you. And since ideas flourish when they are refined in a constructive setting, a credentialing committee consisting of a panel of Main Podium speakers will serve as mentors to evaluate the work of each presenter.
It is our hope that, as a New Speaker’s Podium participant, you will receive valuable feedback from leading experts in the field to refine your ideas and deepen your research. New Speaker Podium Competition Additionally, iACD will offer the following prizes to the top two performers:
