A Draft Schedule of the 2023 Convention is now available. Please note, while OADN does not anticipate substantial changes to this schedule, this is a draft and revisions are still possible. Our hope is that providing this schedule well in advance will help you in your travel planning. OADN recommends that those travelling to San Diego from the East Coast plan to travel home on Sunday, as most Saturday flight options would cause you to miss out on the excellent educational sessions planned for you that day.
OADN looks forward to unveiling the 2023 Convention in greater detail later this summer. Until that time, we encourage you to browse the sessions from last year’s conference for a comprehensive and descriptive listing of the outstanding educational offerings, timely and relevant topics, and expert speakers that OADN is committed to delivering to Convention attendees every year.
