Required C.E. is offered on-demand to take at your convenience, but we’ll have many different options – including new in-person and live virtual events, as well as the convention in Anaheim.
We hope to announce our full 2024 educational event lineup for you and your team’s consideration and planning by late fall 2023.

We’ll be offering early career dentist tracks at the convention in 2024, as well as fun in-person networking and learning events in select California venues. Associate-focused opportunities are coming in 2024 too.
CDA will have a robust offering of online and in-person events – some will have no fees, and some will offer preferred pricing for members.
The new events will be in person and throughout the state – both Northern and Southern California locations.
Yes! We will keep our robust online offering and continue to offer live virtual events throughout the year.
