Fee Structure
The CELL Seminar Series offers seminars to the dental community as a package program endorsed by the ADA and at a value price. This benefit provides the ADA members an opportunity to showcase some of the most distinguished speakers in the field of dentistry. The seminar series offers a flat rate fee structure to U.S. host societies for a booked seminar. This flat rate policy also applies to the speaker. All expenses must be managed by the speaker within the given honorarium paid by the ADA. Hosting societies accept the all inclusive plan upon booking; they presume all parties will abide by the stated rate. The success is based on the volunteering of time from our speakers and
in-kind donations from the host societies which is in addition to the ADA seminar fee.
The following procedures shall be understood before booking a seminar:
- Ground transportation for the speaker: the hosting society is asked to provide in-kind donation of ground transportation especially if the seminar is located 40 miles from the airport.
- Hotel: the speaker is challenged to select economical and safe lodging. Seminar Series requests a hotel room be gifted as an in-kind donation by the hosting society. If this is not
an option, then a reservation should be made in the name of the speaker. If the seminar location is remote or flights are limited and the speaker is required to stay over an
additional night, it is requested that the host society incur the additional night’s expense.
- Handout: A speaker’s handout and evaluation form is electronically submitted from the ADA to the host society. It is the sole responsibility of the host to duplicate and distribute the handout at the seminar or make it electronically available to the attendees.
- Invoicing process: The seminar host society will be invoiced by the ADA following the seminar. All invoices should be paid in 30 days.
- Pre-approval: is required for all audio and visual recording of the seminar.
- Seminar duration: seminar programs vary in length of time Please advise the staff of your need in your request.

Booking Procedures
Initial Booking: The host society should view the seminar series catalog (in print or on-line) and submit a seminar inquiry form also available online (go to site). The CELL staff will contact the selected speaker(s) and request availability; the speaker responds to the ADA in writing with a “yes” or” no”. The host is then informed by the CELL staff of the outcome of the request. If the response is “yes”, a confi rmation is sent to both parties, if “no” the search continues based on all choices. Following the confirmation of the booking, the CELL staff
provides both parties with information required to make the seminar a success. This includes Speaker’s Packet A (photo, course description, biographical profi le, fact sheet), which should be received at least 60 days prior to the seminar date, and Speaker Packet B (handouts, AV requirements, evaluation form) which will be sent 30 days prior to the seminar. The host society should communicate with the speaker at least 30 days prior to the seminar to fi nalize arrangements for hotel, ground transportation and additional details.
Changes to the program: the host society must inform the
CELL staff as soon as possible of any necessary changes in
booked seminar. If a mutual agreement between all parties
can be reached regarding the changes then no fee will be
incurred for date changes: however, if expenses have been
incurred and are non-refundable, the host society will be held
responsible for the incurred charges.
Cancellation: Should the seminar be canceled at the discretion of the host society:
- More than 30 days before the seminar date, the only out-of-pocket cost that will be incurred is any pre-paid airline tickets, and no other fees or expenses will be requested of the Host; and
