The American Dental Association decided June 12 to cancel the in-person gathering of the ADA Florida Dental Convention Annual Meeting set for October 2020.
The ADA and Florida Dental Association are exploring virtual options for the meeting and will share more information as it becomes available.
"It was a difficult discussion, but our members and their concerns are our first priority. The health and safety of our dental family is at the heart of this decision," said Nanette Tertel, DDS, general chair of ADA FDC 2020. "We look forward to virtual possibilities in 2020 and meeting face to face in Las Vegas 2021."
The meeting was originally scheduled for Oct. 15-18 in Orlando, Fla.
