Save the Date

19th Annual Dental Hygiene Symposium and Hinman Lectures

Date: August 15th-16th, 2025

Location: Hyatt Regency Wynfrey Hotel

The Dental Hygiene Symposium and Hinman Lecture is where passion for oral health meets professional growth. Hosted by the UAB School of Dentistry’s Office of Continuing Dental Education, this dynamic two-day event brings together hygienists, assistants, office managers, and dentists from across the region for an energizing blend of education, networking, and innovation.

Each year, the event welcomes more than 1,200 attendees, making it one of the largest hybrid dental meetings in Alabama. With expert-led sessions and a vibrant exhibit hall, the symposium offers something for every member of the dental team. Whether you're looking to sharpen your clinical knowledge, explore the latest industry trends, or connect with peers who share your commitment to excellence, this is the place to be.

Join us in celebrating the vital role of dental hygiene in whole-patient care—and leave inspired, informed, and ready to make an even greater impact.
