Message from Convention Chairperson

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is with great excitement that I invite you to join us for the Jamaica Dental Association Convention 2026, taking place from May 20–23, 2026, in beautiful Negril, Jamaica, at Princess Grand Jamaica and Princess Senses The Mangrove (Adults Only).

Our upcoming convention promises to be an exceptional blend of education, innovation, and Caribbean relaxation, set along Negril’s world-famous white sand beaches. Known for its breathtaking sunsets, vibrant culture, and iconic experiences such as cliff diving at Rick’s Café, Negril offers the perfect backdrop for both professional growth and leisure.

This year’s theme, “Timeless Smiles: Trends, Techniques, and Transformations,” reflects our commitment to advancing the art and science of dentistry, with a strong focus on cosmetic and restorative excellence. Attendees can look forward to an outstanding scientific program featuring internationally renowned and local speakers, engaging lectures, hands-on sessions, and practical content designed to elevate everyday clinical practice.

We are pleased to offer accommodation options at both Princess Grand Jamaica, ideal for those traveling with colleagues or family, and Princess Senses The Mangrove, an elegant adults-only retreat for those seeking a more serene experience—both conveniently located and integrated into the convention experience.
