Florida is one of the largest dental markets in the United States, driven by a big retirement population, year-round tourism, and a high concentration of dental support organizations. Demand is steady from Miami and Fort Lauderdale through Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville, which keeps the state’s continuing-education calendar active all year.
The flagship event is the Florida Dental Convention (FDC), the Florida Dental Association’s annual meeting, typically held in Orlando. It brings together thousands of dental professionals with a large exhibit hall and a deep catalog of CE courses covering clinical dentistry, team training, and practice technology.
Florida dentists complete continuing education on the renewal cycle set by the Florida Board of Dentistry, and FDC plus a range of regional and specialty meetings make it straightforward to meet those requirements in-state. With one of the most diverse patient populations in the country, Florida conferences frequently spotlight multilingual patient communication and front-desk automation technology on the exhibit floor.
