2020 Conference and Expo

Due to current events, the climate in the country, and fear of traveling, the AOLP made the tough decision to reschedule the annual conference. Your safety is our top priority. The event has been rescheduled for Friday, October 2nd through Sunday, October 4th. Full refunds will issued, upon request, to all attendees and vendors, or the monies can be applied to the new dates.

As more of a local show, our co-hosts, the DLAT, will be having their conference as planned on the weekend of March 27th but as a smaller show. All AOLP attendees and exhibitors are welcome to attend.

We are expecting an exciting show in October and hope to to see you all there! We sincerely thank all of our members, sponsors, and exhibitors for their support and wish you the best of luck as we navigate through this difficult time.

All inquiries can be directed to Christopher Gajewski at cgajewski@live.com.

The first weekend of October 2020 will mark the third annual AOLP conference in conjunction with the DLAT in Grapevine, Texas—just outside of Dallas and about 10 minutes from the DFW airport.. It will showcase the growing synergy among labs, vendors and practices to promote professionalism and educate attendees on the latest advances and share knowledge of the basics. It may not rise to the level of what one educator put it: “an international congress on day to day orthodontics” but that is the goal.

Clinics will be taught by industry leaders from around the world on Friday, March 27th, Saturday and Sunday morning. There will be a combination of hands on classes, lectures and presentations. The schedule is still evolving but will be finalized by January 31st.

When: October 2nd, 3rd, 4th until noon

Where: Hilton DFW Executive Lakes Conference Center, Grapevine Texas

What: Over 20 hours in continuing education on professional and scientific development
