What is the National Leadership Conference?

ASDA’s National Leadership Conference isn't just any conference—it's your ticket to standing out among your peers.

While dental school covers the essentials, the skills crucial for thriving as a business owner, team leader and manager often get overlooked - NLC fills that gap. NLC will equip you with the skills needed to emerge from dental school as a well-rounded, confident leader.

Post-Event Recap

Thank you to all our attendees, speakers and sponsors for making ASDA’s 2024 NLC a success! After hearing from our keynote speaker Shailee Basnet and attending sessions across a wide array of educational topics, we hope that all attendees left the conference with a re-ignited passion for personal and professional development.

In addition to educational sessions, attendees met with industry leaders to explore tools, services and career opportunities at the Dental Marketplace and learned about cutting-edge technology at the Tech Expo. They also explored leadership opportunities available at the national level and networked with fellow dental students.
