Connection, Content, and Celebration: Two Special Meetups at the AAE25 Member Center

The Member Center at AAE25 buzzed with energy and conversation this year as we hosted two exciting meetups designed to bring our community closer—both in person and online.

Endofluencer Meetup
Earlier this week, we welcomed several of our favorite social-savvy members for an Endofluencer Meetup! These talented content creators—affectionately dubbed “Endofluencers”—help us educate the general public about endodontics and the importance of saving natural teeth through their vibrant presence on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Attendees had the chance to meet these online standouts face-to-face, ask questions, swap content ideas, and even witness a bit of behind-the-scenes magic as our Endofluencers collaborated with AAE staff to create new content live from the show floor. From myth-busting to humor to patient education, these all-stars continue to amplify our message in fun, relatable ways. Stay tuned to AAE social channels to see what they’ve created on-site at AAE25!

Meet the JOE Editors Meetup
On another high note, we hosted a Meet the JOE Editors Meetup to honor the 50th anniversary of the Journal of Endodontics. Members of the Editorial Board Committee—including Editor-in-Chief Dr. Ken Hargreaves—joined us in the Member Center for a lively and informal conversation with attendees. It was a unique opportunity to hear directly from the minds behind the leading publication in endodontic science and research.

The editors were eager to engage and celebrate this publishing milestone with the AAE community.

Both meetups reflect what makes AAE25 so special: meaningful connections, authentic conversations, and the celebration of members who help shape our specialty—whether it’s online, in the operatory, or in the pages of the JOE.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!
