FROM THE PRESIDENT
THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING
Thank you for joining us for Reconnext 2024, the official event of the Australasian Academy of Paediatric Dentistry.
Our 2024 conference combined fun and sun with stimulating presentations and collegial conversations in the coastal town of Mooloolaba, Queensland.
The theme for 2024’s conference was ‘Digital Health: the potential and the reality’. We had two inspiring keynote speakers in Andy Keeling, Professor of Prosthetics and Digital Dentistry from the University of Leeds and Professor Dianne Shanley from the Menzies Health Institute at Griffith University.
A very special thank you to our sponsors, without whom our conference would not have been possible.
