Thursday, May 27 | Bobby McKey's

New to practice? This is your night.

Just steps from the Gaylord National and other host hotels, Bobby McKey’s becomes the go-to spot for pediatric dentists in their first years of practice. Expect live dueling pianos, a crowd that sings along, and a room full of peers navigating the same things you are, from associateships vs. ownership to the business side residency never covered.

Swap stories, trade advice, and leave with connections you’ll lean on for years. No formal program, just great music, good drinks and food, and your people.

Residents, recent grads, and early career dentists: don’t miss the most energetic room at AAPD 2027.

The ECD Happy Hour is a ticketed event. Tickets must be purchased in advance when registering to attend AAPD 2027.
