Continuing Education Meets Florida Sunshine
Prepare yourself for one of the most comfortable and friendly corners of Florida you will ever visit. Then combine it with some of the best continuing dental education around, and you have one of the most SUNsational experiences of the year. We picked Longboat Key for its postcard-perfect views, easy climate, beautiful beaches, and food that’s out of this world.
Is it the beaches, the world-class speakers, or the great company? Maybe it’s the fishing, a round of golf, or a relaxing afternoon at the spa. Or perhaps it’s the chance to renew old friendships and make new ones. Whatever draws you in, Smiles in the Sun has the perfect combination.
The Resort at Longboat Key Club is a 5-star property where you can learn, play and relax in one idyllic location. Smiles in the Sun has put together an amazing program of internationally known speakers to bring you the most current information across several disciplines.

Hosts, One Great Time
Rave Reviews, Every Year
“The most exciting program of all the dental courses and experiences that I have ever had as a dentist… If you can attend only one course per year — this is it!”
“I have already made reservations for next year. Excellent speakers that make you feel at home. A very good group of people.”
“The resort and setting are second to none, but most importantly are the guys putting this thing together. Howard & Roy are a fantastic duo.”
