REGISTRATION FEES
What Does Your Registration Fee Include?
1.) Admission to the exhibit hall for all days of the meeting.
2.) Admission to all complimentary courses for the scientific program. However, each attendee MUST register for the courses he/she wants to attend so that tickets may be issued. Limited attendance courses are assigned a nominal fee to prevent having only partially-filled participation classes. Each registrant is eligible to obtain one course ticket per morning and afternoon session per day. You MUST have a ticket for admission into each course. For complimentary courses, the course ticket guarantees your admission up to the printed start time of the lecture. After the start of a lecture, attendees may move to another course as long as seating is still available.

ACCREDITATION FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION
The New Orleans Dental Conference & LDA Annual Session provides one hour of credit for each hour of lecture.
NOTE: This is a new method of providing continuing education credit.
For Louisiana dentists, hygienists and technicians: A unique code number will be provided for each course. The first half of the code will be provided prior to the start of the lecture and the final half will be provided upon the conclusion of each session. You should record that code on your continuing education form next to the corresponding lecture. The unique code number will verify attendance and serve as your CE credit.
For attendees from other states: During the conference, a conference official may be able to sign and stamp the code number on a continuing education sheet, which is available upon request from the room monitor. Please refer any additional requests to the CE desk, which will be located at the Registration Desk. After the conclusion of the Conference, NO other verification of attendance will be available. Upon request, the listing of course code numbers will be furnished to your state board.
