50 years is a milestone and it provides us with opportunity to reflect on our achievement to date and set in train our vision for our future. In this mind-set we have arrived at our meeting theme of ‘ADEE 50: Reflect, Recognise and Reimagine’. Hosted by the Dublin Dental University Hospital and the Faculty of Health Sciences Trinity College Dublin, ADEE 2025 academic content, plenary sessions and exhibition will all be held in the Trinity Business School.
