The 2026 ADEA CAAPID^® (ADEA Centralized Application for Advanced Placement for International Dentists) Virtual Fair is an online event to help prepare applicants to apply via ADEA CAAPID to advanced standing programs. Current ADEA CAAPID applicants and internationally educated dentists expecting to apply in 2027 and 2028 are invited to attend.

The fair has two parts: live educational sessions and an exhibit hall. Attendees are expected to login on Nov. 17 to participate in both parts. The educational sessions are in-event video meetings with a presentation and Q&A with the presenter. The exhibit hall features virtual spaces for program booths. Each booth includes materials to review and a live chat to ask questions. An agenda and detailed description will be provided before the event.

Embarking on the journey to dental school is challenging and competitive, with many aspects seemingly beyond your control. This fair is designed to connect you to the people who can help you prepare for the admissions process, demystifying what you need to know. Register to connect with representatives from 30+ advanced standing programs and ADEA CAAPID representatives.
