SmileCon® 2024 volunteer registration is open! Consider one of the below positions, which get you one free registration to SmileCon.
Hospitality Positions
Hospitality volunteers will be stationed throughout the convention center to welcome SmileCon attendees and answer questions.
Responsibilities: Volunteers must be able to greet attendees and help answer questions in English (even better if you are bilingual in Spanish); be familiar with the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and surrounding area; and be comfortable standing in one location for a few hours.
Benefits: Confirmed hospitality volunteers will be eligible for a free Dental Central Pass, valued at up to $299 for ADA Members. The Dental Central Pass grants attendees 3-day access to Dental Central (the exhibit hall) and any events and presentations hosted therein. Credit for the Dental Central Pass may be applied toward the purchase of a Smile Pass or Platinum Smile Pass. View registration packages for more information on SmileCon registration options and package benefits.
Hospitality volunteers will also receive a SmileCon t-shirt, a complimentary meal voucher, and parking the day of their assignment.
Terms and Conditions: Hospitality volunteers will be charged $1.00 at the time of registration and, if their commitment is not fulfilled, registrants will be charged the full price for their selected registration pass. Exceptions will be handled on a case-by-case basis. The ADA reserves the right to charge your credit card on file for these penalty fees. Valuation of the hospitality volunteer discount is determined by the attendee’s registration category and the current pass price at the time of registration and cannot be combined with any other promotional discount.
To volunteer for a hospitality position, begin your registration at SmileCon.org on May 8 when registration opens and enter the code “HOS2024” to select the hospitality shift(s) that best suits your schedule. The pass discount will populate in your cart.
Speaker Concierge
Speaker concierges are the onsite liaisons between speakers and the ADA; each speaker concierge will manage a speaker’s itinerary and ensure a timely schedule is maintained.
Responsibilities: The speaker concierge will reach out to the speaker before the meeting to welcome them to SmileCon, greet the speaker upon their arrival to their course room (or other pre-determined location), facilitate courses, make general announcements, introduce the speaker(s) and announce the course verification code number for continuing education credit at the end of the course.
Benefits: Confirmed speaker concierges will be eligible for a free Smile Pass, valued at up to $699 for ADA Members. The Smile Pass grants attendees three-day access to Dental Central and all CE presentations, as well as entry to the Bouncin’ in the Bayou Fest on Friday night. Hands-On Activities (clinical workshops) and Master Classes may be added for an additional fee. Credit for the Smile Pass may be applied toward the purchase of a Platinum Smile Pass. View registration packages for more information on SmileCon registration options and package benefits.
Speaker concierges will also receive continuing education credit for courses attended while volunteering, as well as complimentary meals and parking during their assignment.
Terms and Conditions: Only ADA member dentists are eligible to serve as speaker concierges. Valuation of the speaker concierge discount is determined by the attendee’s registration category and the current pass price at the time of registration and cannot be combined with any other promotional discount.
