ATTENDANCE
What is appropriate attire for the conference?
Business Casual attire is recommended.
How many exhibitors will there be?
Approximately 150.
What is the expected attendance?
We are anticipating over 1,100 attendees in Orlando this year.
Will there be attendees from all over the country?
Yes, actually from all over the world!
Will any meals be provided for exhibitors?
Yes, breakfast and lunch will be provided Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Booth attendees will be requested to eat prior to or immediately after attendees. This will allow exhibit booth staff valuable time to interact with attendees during their break, and still take time for a meal. Further information will be provided closer to the conference in the Exhibitor Agenda.
Can I share my booth with another company?
No. Our policies strictly prohibit booth sharing. Only the representatives of the company that purchased the booth can man the booth. Furthermore, only products and services of the company that purchased the exhibit space can be promoted at the booth.
How do I register our Booth Staff?
If you are the tradeshow contact and you will be attending the conference, you must also register yourself as Booth Staff. You will need to use a unique email address that is different from the one used to register your company’s booth. All Booth Staff will be registered within the Exhibitor Portal – please be on the lookout for an email from meetings@dentalmanagers.com with this information. Educational-level exhibitors are responsible for ensuring their Sponsored Speakers register themselves for the event. Within the Exhibitor Portal, you will be able to share the “Sponsored Speaker” registration URL directly with your speaker. Speakers may register as a “Sponsored Speaker,” which includes access to general sessions, evening events, and meals, but does not include access to breakout sessions or CE credits. They will also have the option to upgrade to the “Sponsored Speaker Event Attendee”* registration type, which provides full access to the AADOM Conference experience, including breakout sessions and the opportunity to earn CE credits. Because of these upgrade options, we recommend that speakers complete their own registration. *This option is for speakers who are dental practice administrators or dental practice consultants only.
To review your registration, enter the email address of the person who registered your company for the conference, along with the confirmation number provided in your registration confirmation email. If you need your confirmation number, please email meetings@dentalmanagers.com.
Please note there will be a $100 charge per badge for any name badges printed onsite at the conference due to incorrect information or failure to register booth staff by the July 8th deadline. Lost badge replacement fee: $50.
Should you experience any technical difficulty registering your booth staff, contact the AADOM Events Team at meetings@dentalmanagers.com or 732-842-9977, ext 2.
- Exhibitor level includes 2 complimentary Booth Staff registrations.
- Tribe level includes 3 complimentary Booth Staff registrations.

What if I need to register additional Booth Staff?
Additional Booth Staff registrations are $500 each. You can register additional Booth Staff within the Exhibitor Portal by July 8, 2026 with your email and registration confirmation number.
Should you need a copy of your registration confirmation or technical assistance, please email meetings@dentalmanagers.com.
Can we host a party or reception during the AADOM Conference?

Each exhibitor is to have a current Certificate of Liability Insurance (COI).

SPONSORED BREAKOUT SESSIONS
Equipment for Sponsored Breakout Sessions (Educational Sponsors Only)
What equipment is included in our Industry Update educational session?
Each room will have a Projector, Screen, AV Cart, Lavaliere Microphone, Podium Microphone, Laptop Sound Connection. Please note, for best quality, we suggest using only PC or Mac for your presentation. Please note that your laptop will need a HDMI connection. If you don’t have one, please have your adapter handy.
Plan to arrive in your room 30 minutes ahead so the AV team can assist with the setup of your equipment and test your presentation.
If you are using a PowerPoint, use the 16:9 format for your presentation.
RAFFLE PRIZES
Do all exhibitors provide raffle gifts?
It is not required but highly recommended. It is a booth draw and a way to collect attendee information.
Attendees will be provided an Exhibitor Passport/list of all exhibitors that they will be bringing to you to sign as they network with you. This passport becomes the attendees’ entry in the prize drawing held on Saturday.
The purpose of the passport is to direct traffic to your booth. We recommend that you do not sign multiple passports for a single person. Those who do not personally come to your booth should not receive sign off. Having a prize on display at your booth increases booth traffic. Should you offer a separate opportunity drawing at your booth, those winners will not be announced from the stage during the main prize drawing and should be posted at your booth.
Exhibitors should line up to the right of the stage no earlier than 2:30 pm on Saturday with their item. Prize winners will be drawn from the stage by AADOM staff from those passports who meet exhibitor roundup requirements. Exhibitors will come on stage, introduce themselves and their company, say what their item is and be photographed with the winner.
If your prize is not travel friendly, make a photo poster of the item to display at your booth and ship the actual item directly to the winner.
What kind of raffle gifts are usually provided?
Anything from gift cards, to spa certificates, to Keurig coffee makers, iPads, Kindles, designer handbags…the gifts should be for the individual, not the practice.
What is the average value of the raffle gifts provided?
It is up to the exhibitor but the average range is between $100 and $500.
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Does AADOM offer other sponsorship opportunities?
Yes, please see Conference Sponsorship and our Media Kit.
