Earlier this year I was delighted to have been one of the key speakers at the AAO in front of a 3,000+ full house in the biggest auditorium, which, according to a young doctor, was the only time that the auditorium was full during this 4 day event. The feedback has been great; Dr. Lee Graber publicly commented that in the past his highest mark for excellent speakers was A+, however this year he'd give Chris Chang A+++. Dr. Larry White wrote an email to me saying that "in the 50 years of presentations at the AAO, I've never seen such adoration (by the audience)". Dr. Tom Mulligan wrote: "The crowd was so large there was simply no way I could make my way through in order to say “hello” and “thank you” for your great presentation". I look forward to being a regular key speaker at this event for many years to come and hope that I can inspire the younger generation of Orthodontists to also join me in advancing the No. 1 profession.

Of course, all this would have not been possible without the great support of my family, my mentor Dr. Eugene Roberts, as well as countless professionals who have helped and inspired me. I cannot mention them all here, but you know who you are - Thank you. Let us keep marching along the path to glory and make the most of our opportunity to be involved in, improve and further our great No. 1 profession.
