This year’s Presidential Meeting will take place in Birmingham as part of the British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show.
The event will feature the formal installation ceremony, where our outgoing President, Dave Cottam, will deliver his valedictory address before passing the BDA ceremonial jewel to our incoming President, Callum Youngson MBE, who will then give his presidential speech.
We invite you to join us in celebrating not only our outgoing and incoming Presidents, but also the many individuals who provide essential support to the BDA. This includes Council Chairs, Branch and Group Presidents, and the dedicated office holders across our Branches, Groups, Divisions, Sections, and central BDA committees. Their commitment and contribution play a vital role in supporting the British Dental Association and the wider dental profession.
