The ADA will end its annual SmileCon conference after 2025 due to post-COVID decline in attendance and rising event costs.

The last SmileCon will be held October. 23–25 in Washington, DC, but the conference scheduled for 2026 in Indianapolis has been canceled.

The ADA is working with local partners on future opportunities in the city. The ADA House of Delegates will continue to meet annually.
