There's something special about attending an inaugural symposium—especially when it offers a fresh approach. Many conferences are designed to serve large audiences, giving attendees the chance to earn CMEs, build professional connections, and explore the latest products. That model has its strengths, but CAMS took a notably different approach. The academic program was designed to offer value to dental sleep medicine professionals at every stage, whether they’re new to the field or have years of experience. Just as importantly, CAMS brought together dental sleep medicine and sleep medicine providers. That’s where the real magic happens: this connection creates new opportunities for collaborative care. I also appreciated that vendors weren’t overwhelming. At CAMS, they were implementation partners—not simply showcasing products, but explaining how those products could support and benefit a practice. The inaugural meeting was exceptionally well organized. From the meeting materials and speaker schedule to the opportunities to connect with implementation partners, every detail was handled at a high level. I’m looking forward to the second meeting in July 2027 in Sarasota, Florida.
