This year’s distinguished speakers will be George Will and Robert Reich – two political pundits, one conservative and one liberal, who will discuss and answer questions about the 2012 national election to be held less than three weeks after the Annual Session.

In addition to all the opportunities to learn more about dentistry, experience a variety of unique events that are part of this exciting meeting. Extend your learning by taking part in pre-session CE, or enhance it by continuing on to the Post Sessions being held in Napa Valley.

Welcome to San Francisco

“No city invites the heart to come to life as San Francisco does. Arrival in San Francisco is an experience in living.”

–William Saroyan, writer

Kidding AroundWhile San Francisco’s reputation as a grown-up’s playground is well deserved, it still holds enormous appeal for small fry. Thanks to a young-at-heart population, the city brims with places tailor-made for a family vacation.

Be sure to pack: your childlike sense of wonder.

Wharf WilesFisherman’s Wharf remains one of San Francisco’s most endearing tourist attractions. With a history dating back to the Gold Rush, the wharf still has its traditions and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of some of the original owners of the fishing fleet still make their living at sea.

Be sure to pack: your appreciation for history – and fresh seafood.

Food, glorious foodSan Franciscans like to eat. SF has more restaurants per capita than any other major U.S. city, and its trendsetting dining scene isn’t just about quantity. Fresh Dungeness crab and the bounty of the Pacific is a net’s throw away, and the city is surrounded by lush vineyards, orchards and farms. Local ingredients grace food trucks and Michelin-starred restaurants alike. Be sure to pack: your biggest appetite.

Eternally springSan Francisco may be known for its plumes of fog, but it’s actually one of the four sunniest major cities in the U.S., reveling in spring-like weather year-round. Warm days are tempered by cool ocean currents, so dress in layers. Overall, the climate is consistent, but there is some seasonal variation.

Fall is San Francisco’s summer. Some of the city’s hottest days are in September and October – a great time to enjoy opera in the park or an outdoor gathering.

Be sure to pack: sunscreen and a jacket.

Getting aroundYou’ll be surprised where a good pair of walking shoes can take you in compact San Francisco. Most hotels are within walking distance of popular attractions, and when your feet tire of the city’s legendary hills, public transportation is available in many modes: buses, light rail vehicles, a subway system (BART), and historic street cars and cable cars. Be sure to pack: your favorite walking shoes.

Beyond San FranciscoSan Francisco is the gateway to a vast vacationland. With regional buses, ferries and trains, visitors can easily visit Sausalito, Muir Woods, wineries and more. SF is within a 2.5 hour drive from the High Sierra resorts of Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, the Monterey/Carmel peninsula, California’s wine country, the Redwood Empire and the spectacular Mendocino Coast.Be sure to pack: a good digital camera.

Arrive early, stay longer... come backA trip to SF is among the richest experiences a traveler can have. Most people come back, only to find that more things to see and do have cropped up in their absence!

Take advantage of the many flight options out of SFO to stay a few days longer than planned … then plan to return!

Be sure to pack: your spontaneous side.

Opening General Session and Distinguished Speaker Series

Robert Reich is one of the world’s leading thinkers about work and the economy. Now professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley, he has served under three national administrations, most recently as secretary of labor under Bill Clinton. He also served on President Barack Obama’s economic transition board. In 2008, TIME magazine named him one of the ten most successful cabinet secretaries of the past century.

Reich is the author of 14 books including The Work of Nations, which has been translated into 22 languages, and the best-sellers Locked in the Cabinet and The Future of Success, which in 2002 was ranked by BusinessWeek magazine as the #2 best-selling business book. His book, Supercapitalism, published in 2007, warned of the perils of an under-regulated and over-leveraged financial system. In his latest book, Aftershock: The Next Economy and America’s Future, a New York Times best-seller, Reich looks at where the economy is heading after the Great Recession and what to expect over the next decade. He has written more than 200 articles on the global economy, the changing nature of work and the centrality of human capital. Reich writes a weekly, nationally syndicated column for Tribune Media Services that focuses on the economy and which appears in papers from The San Francisco Chronicle to The Kansas City Star. He is a consultant to many governments and corporations.

Reich’s commentaries are heard weekly on public radio by nearly five million people and his columns appear frequently in The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and other major national newspapers. He appears several times a week on CNBC.

In late 2003, Reich was awarded the prestigious Vaclev Havel prize, in Prague, for his original contributions to

economic thinking. In 2004, he was named one of America’s three most influential opinion leaders on business and the economy, based on a study by Accenture. In 2008, The Wall Street Journal named him one of the nation’s top ten thought leaders.

Opening General SessionMoscone West, Level 1 Thursday, October 18, 8-9:30 a.m.

Featuring the 2012 Distinguished Speakers Robert Reich and George F. WillMr. Reich and Mr. Will will sit with ADA leadership for a candid Q&A session following their introductory presentations.

1George F. Will is the country’s most widely read political columnist, as well as its foremost conservative voice. His popular twice-weekly column for The Washington Post syndicate reaches nearly 500 newspapers throughout the United States and Europe and he appears regularly on ABC’s This Week. In 1976, he became a regular contributing editor of Newsweek magazine, for which he provided a bimonthly essay until 2011.

In 1977, he won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary for his newspaper columns. Altogether eight collections of Will’s Newsweek and Washington Post columns have been published, the most recent being One Man’s America. In 1990, Will published Men At Work: The Craft of Baseball, which topped The New York Times best-seller list for two months. In 1998, Scribner published Bunts: Curt Flood, Camden Yards, Pete Rose and Other Reflections on Baseball, a best-selling collection of new and previously published writings by Will on baseball. Will was a member of Major League Baseball’s Blue Ribbon Panel, examining baseball economics.

In 1981, Will became a founding panel member on ABC television’s This Week. Will was born in Champaign, Illinois, educated at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, Oxford University and Princeton University, where he earned his Ph.D. He has taught political philosophy at Michigan State University, the University of Toronto and Harvard University. Will served as a staff member in the United States Senate from 1970 to 1972. From 1973 through 1976, he was the Washington editor of National Review magazine. Today, Will lives and works in Washington.

Additional popular medical screenings will be available for a small fee. Participation is limited to individuals who register for the Annual Session as dentists, hygienists or chairside assistants.

The Health Screening Program has been a popular Annual Session event since 1964, helping dentists monitor their own health while making their offices safer for the dental team and patients.

Because of overwhelming interest in the program, appointments are available to member dentists when they register online for the Annual Session.

Appointments are available on October 18-20 from 7 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Otherwise, member dentists, hygienists and chairside assistants can participate as walk-ins October 18-20 from noon-3 p.m.

Did you know?• More than 60,000 dental professionals have participated

in the HSP to date, creating one of the largest databases of information on potential risks associated with the practice of dentistry.

• Researchers have published more than 50 articles in peer-reviewed journals since 1975 using data obtained from the HSP, leading to significant improvements in the health and safety of the dental team members and the patients they serve.

• The HSP identified hepatitis B as an occupational hazard for the dental team and showed the effectiveness of the HBV vaccine in preventing disease transmission.

• HSP data demonstrated that dentists’ HCV and HIV seroprevalences are below the levels of the general population even without the benefit of an effective vaccine.

• HSP dentists’ urinary mercury levels are now at or below the general population levels.

• The HSP provided feedback to manufacturers of latex-containing products to help reduce exposure of the dental team to this potential allergen.

• The HSP is moving in exciting new directions, including educating dentists about new technologies that offer opportunities to serve patients by conducting medical screenings in the dental office.

Debate and DiscussionThe topics can be controversial. The answers are sometimes unclear. The ADA invites you to an open forum discussion with your colleagues. Experience the third year of this innovative series, hosted by the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs (CSA) and The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA).

Clinicians, scientists and expert opinion leaders will present a variety of thought-provoking concepts on some of the most pressing topics of our time, and attendees and the dental industry alike will enjoy a lively discussion and debate about the findings.

Earn CE credits while you participate in these discussions. More than 1,700 people attended the two sessions in 2011!

Open Clinical and Science Forums are moderated by the editor of The Journal of the American Dental Association, Dr. Michael Glick and the senior vice president for the ADA’s Division of Science and Professional Affairs, Dr. Dan Meyer.

Through ADA365, the virtual extension of the Annual Session, these forums will be offered free to dental schools and ADA members as a live simulcast and also on demand for a year after the meeting.

You’ll be surprised where a good pair of walking shoes can take you in compact San Francisco. Most hotels are within walking distance of popular attractions, and when your feet tire of the city’s legendary hills, public transportation is available in many modes: buses, light rail vehicles, a subway system (BART), and historic street- and cable cars.

Getting to and from the airport can be a public affair as well: BART pulls right up to San Francisco International Airport (SFO).

Airport TransportationSuperShuttle provides airport shuttle service to all San Francisco hotels and the Moscone Center. Advance Annual Session registrants will receive a discount off the normal rate! Discounted rates on airport transportation are available through Super Shuttle. Visit www.supershuttle.com/sales/ada.aspx or call 650.238.5888 and reference group code E962K.

• Shuttle Service – complimentary shuttle service is provided between all hotels not within walking distance and the Moscone Convention Center.

• Rate Integrity – the ADA monitors hotel rates in San Francisco. If an official hotel’s rate decreases over the dates of the Annual Session, so does yours.

The ADA Signature Visa Card, issued by U.S. Bank, has one of the most robust rewards points programs, and it was developed just for dentists.
