Acting as a resource, DANB is providing a library of speakers that CDE/meeting planners can contact directly to arrange and negotiate the terms of a speaking engagement. DANB looks forward to connecting communities of interest: speakers providing innovative and lively seminars, planners who are searching for valuable and timely subject matter that is assistant/auxiliary oriented and dental assistants, specifically DANB Certified Assistants, who are looking for programs to meet their CDE requirements.
The DANB Speakers Bureau is a free service to both presenters and CDE planners. DANB does not charge listing fees, booking fees or speakers fees. To download a Speakers Bureau Application Packet, click here.
Note: DANB does not guarantee speakers' availability, presentation skills or clinical/management knowledge, nor does DANB ensure speakers of obtaining engagements simply by enrolling in the bureau.
