By Tom Chapman, CAE, AOS Executive Director The AOS membership gathered together this past September for its 2018 Annual Meeting on Mission Bay in San Diego. If you were not there, you missed out on one of the top tier destinations in America, beautiful San Diego by the sea, with its historic culture, stunning scenery, and vibrant California night life. Combine these attractions with a stellar educational program and you have another outstanding meeting. Educational highlights included sessions from Dr. Gordon Chris-tensen, Dr. Larry White, Dr. Bruce McFarlane, Dr. Bill Wyatt, Dr. Len Carapezza, Dr. Juan Echeverri, and Dr. Joseph Yousefian. A full exhibit hall allowed our industry partners to engage interested members in the latest dental technology with special show discounts when classes were not in session. AOS member outings to the popular and historic Gaslamp District and to the Coron-ado Golf Course made for great eating and great golf. Join us for next year’s annual meeting that will be held September 19-22 in our nation’s capital, Wash-ington DC. 42 Winter 2019 JAOS
