UPCOMING SESSIONS

President's Message

Dear Colleagues, 

It is my privilege and honour to serve as President of the Edmonton and District Dental Society for the 2025-26 season.  The EDDS is commemorating its 112th year of existence, and is recognized as being a strong pillar of support for the local community, a facilitator of excellent dental continuing education, and the driver behind the popular NorthWest Dental Exposition (NWDE).   I am grateful to work with a strong team of dedicated individuals who serve on the Board on your behalf.  I am equally appreciative of the generous financial support of our sponsors, which enables the EDDS to carry out its mission.  

The price of an EDDS Annual Membership for dentists offers exceptional value.  It allows you admission to 5 full-day scientific sessions (3-course lunch included) from October to April – for roughly the same price as two bottles of brand name dental bonding adhesive.  Moreover, if you attend all of our sessions over the course a season, you could potentially earn at least 30 CE credit hours - all without the hassle of flying to a different city or booking hotels. The EDDS takes care of bringing the brightest and finest leaders in dentistry here, so YOU don’t have to travel!

In this upcoming season, thanks to the hard work of the Executive Committee, there will be a 6th, additional full-day session on May 8, 2026. This “bonus” program will be focused on the business side of dentistry and will be available to all EDDS members at no extra charge

Our events are more than just passive lectures – they allow opportunities for you to socialize with friends and colleagues, and to connect with industry partners and sales representatives. I encourage you to pull out your digital calendar and mark off all the “EDDS Fridays”, and be part of our exciting programs at the Edmonton Convention Centre.  

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all new EDDS members, and I would like to humbly thank existing members for their steadfast, continued support.  We are one of the strongest dental societies in Western Canada, and it is my hope that we will continue to grow and stay relevant to your professional development needs.  Moving forward, the EDDS is always looking for fresh ideas and insights. I personally invite you to step out of your comfort zone and be part of our organizational team.  I hope to see you at all of our events! 


Sincerely,


Sigmund Lee, B.Sc.Pharm, DMD
