Rising Star Speaker Series at Yankee 2027
Ready to launch your speaking journey? Your moment starts here.
The Yankee 2027 Program Committee is excited to welcome back this energizing program designed specifically for new and emerging speakers. If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to share your voice, this is it.
We’re seeking a wide range of topics—from clinical insights to big-picture ideas beyond dentistry—that educate, inspire, and spark meaningful connections across the profession. Each selected speaker will present a one-hour continuing education session.
A few important guidelines:
- Infection control programs will not be considered.
- Presentations must remain free of endorsements, commercial bias, or sales content.
- Materials should be strictly educational, with no promotional influence.
The Rising Star Speaker Series will take place on Thursday, January 28, 2027, with each speaker assigned a dedicated timeslot to connect with and engage attendees.
All applications will be reviewed by the 2027 Yankee Program Committee, with careful consideration given to topic originality, content quality, and overall presentation.
Submit your proposal by Friday, May 1, 2026.
