Australian conferences around the world since 1980
We understand in your demanding profession and high stress work environment, it can be difficult to find time for self-care while also busy developing clinical skills/fulfilling CPD requirements. Our aim is to bring you unconventional luxury travel experiences combined with high quality education programs so you can experience the best of both worlds.
We have had renowned speakers, experts in their field both clinically and academically, join us so far and look forward to having many more. Speakers such as Paul Abbott, Barry Reed and Michael Mandikos have had excellent experiences both with UC and participating delegates.
We know there are a wide range of specialised courses to hone in on specific streams of dentistry. Here, with Unconventional Conventions, we take care of the wide and varied but crucial topics. Each of our academic programs is designed to address topics of interest and clinical relevance to our delegates and their practices.
We also provide a platform for interdisciplinary learning with GPs and medical specialists. There is no better way to learn than share ideas and knowledge with medical colleagues to provide a more comprehensive and holistic treatment approach for your patients.
Academic Advisory Committee
To assist with our careful selection of speakers, our committee comprises practitioners from a range of fields. They endeavour to source the best speakers to provide a series of quality presentations, workshops, case studies and panel discussions for each conference.
