The California Dental Association partners with the Western Los Angeles Dental Society for an exclusive one-day event at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Innovation, networking, and CE credits in one of dentistry's most dynamic markets.
CDA Now + Next is the California Dental Association's boutique event series — smaller, more focused, and designed for dental professionals who want to explore the cutting edge of dental innovation. The August 2026 edition in Los Angeles, hosted at the iconic Petersen Automotive Museum in collaboration with the Western Los Angeles Dental Society, brings together forward-thinking dentists and technology innovators in one of the most dynamic dental markets in the country.
Why CDA Now + Next Matters
Los Angeles is one of the largest and most competitive dental markets in the United States, with thousands of practices competing for patients across the greater LA metro area. Practices in this market are early adopters of technology — AI receptionists, digital workflows, and automated patient communication are not luxuries here, they are requirements to stay competitive.

- Networking — connect with LA-area dentists, DSO leaders, and technology vendors
- CE credits — earn continuing education in a compact, high-value format
- Exclusive venue — the Petersen Automotive Museum provides a unique, memorable setting
