In addition to rich educational opportunities, the scientific session is a chance for the Academy to recognize and honor its members who have demonstrated their dedication to continuing education and responsible patient care by becoming an Accredited Member or Accredited Fellow. This year, the AACD acknowledged fifteen newly Accredited Members and six newly Accredited Fellows. Other exemplary members of the Academy and of the profession were also recognized and honored with Celebration of Excellence Awards, known as the Evy.

The social events began Tuesday night with the Welcome Reception at the Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace. On Wednesday night, attendees were entertained by the show Human Nature Jukebox, an event that raised funds for the AACD Charitable Foundation’s Give Back a Smile program.
