ince the founding of our country people have dreamed of going west. So when the days grow short and the wind and snow are howling, hob knob with your Alpha Omega Fraters for warm days, beautiful vistas, friendship, family fun, continuing dental education, and Southwestern hospitality by joining us at the Dream West Alpha Omega Annual Convention in Scottsdale, Arizona,

Help us usher in the next 100 years of AΩ and enjoy the beauty and serenity of the Valley of the Sun. From the Red Rocks of Sedona to the golf courses of Ocotillo, your time with us will be exceptional. The Westin Kierland is a world-class resort with two large swimming pools; one a family pool with a river, waterslide and sandy beach. A soothing spa, 24-hour fitness center, and 27 holes of golf await your enjoyment. There is a large, welcoming lobby, beautiful, function rooms and excellent food; all located a few steps from Kierland Commons, an outdoor venue with restaurants and boutique shopping.

As an added bonus, we will be offering optional excursions on our free days to travel to Sedona and ride the Pink Jeeps, horseback ride in the desert, experience high-performance driving or playing out a fantasy of being a real cattle rancher rounding up the herd. For the less adventurous, enjoy many of the local museums dedicated to Native art and culture or enjoy a day of ultimate shopping at Scottsdale’s fabulous shopping centers. Even take a cooking class and bring home some new Southwestern recipes.

Candi Drescher will once again be running our Children’s Convention and with all the outdoor
activities available in the greater Phoenix area they will have a blast. And there will be plenty to do at the resort for older teens as well.

We have lined up exciting and thought-provoking speakers for our Continuing Education so we can learn while we play.

Speaking of play, let’s not forget our warm AΩ hospitality! There will be entertainment galore from opening night through New Year’s Eve. An interactive Spouse’s program and the wide array of optional tours of this beautiful area will make this Convention unforgettable.
