Orlando is a vibrant destination that blends world-famous family fun with sophisticated experiences for adults. From thrilling theme parks and interactive attractions to gourmet dining, luxurious resorts, championship golf, and serene nature escapes, Orlando offers something special for everyone—making it the perfect place to connect, explore, and unwind.

“The AAO Annual Session has been my go-to meeting since graduating from residency. Over the years my focus has evolved from learning about scientific and clinical topics early in my career to mastering business and staff management in private practice.  Most recently, the meeting has helped me stay up-to-date with the latest technology in our specialty. Not only is the Annual Session a comprehensive meeting for all my CEs, but it has also provided an opportunity to unite orthodontists from all over the world to share ideas, explore new cities, and reconnect with colleagues and friends. I’m especially excited for future AAO meetings planned by a diverse committee of AAO members that will allow attendees to customize an unforgettable experience. You don’t want to miss out!” – Dr. Nellie Kim-Weroha
