Every year we strive to provide you with top-notch continuing education
programs. Our goal has always been to create a curriculum that faithfully
relates to the everyday dental practice owner and team. By selecting
speakers who are practice owners or work in practices, we’ve found that
attendees are more receptive to new procedures and the cutting edge information
that is presented, which can be applied Monday morning and
impact the bottom line. The course format is relaxed and attendees are
always encouraged to interact with the speakers. We will kick off, with a presentation from the knowledgeable and entertaining founder of Dentaltown,
Dr. Howard Farran, followed by a grand-slam speech by tennis player Roger
Crawford who Sports Illustrated calls one of the most accomplished physically
challenged athletes in the world.
We offer great ways to increase your revenue with seminars from unique presenters
like Dr. Ryan Swain from Six Month Smiles who will be offering his course
at a discounted price on Wednesday, April 14 (exclusive to Townie Meeting attendees).
We’re also hosting an Asset Protection workshop, which will teach you how
to prevent and protect against lawsuits – available only to dentists and their
spouses. We’re also offering a hands-on workshop, Mastering Posterior Direct
Resins, presented by Dr. Jason Smithson. Personally, we feel this year’s entire
speaker line-up is quite exceptional. If you’d like to learn more about what we have
to offer, visit www.towniemeeting.com to read all of our speakers’ biographies and
course descriptions.
Townie Meeting is showcasing four fabulous social events that are included
in your registration fee. Be sure to arrive in Vegas in time to attend the
CareCredit Wine & Cheese Reception, 6 p.m.-8 p.m., Wednesday, April 14,
at the Calypso Court, located across from the Terry Fator Theatre in the
Mirage. This is the perfect time to pick up your meeting credentials, meet new
Townies and visit with old friends. The opening party is always at the top of
our attendees “must-attend” events. The Townie “I Love the 80s” Opening
Party, sponsored by Millennium Dental Technologies, will be held Thursday,
April 15, at the Dolphin Encounter in the Mirage. Every year the costumes get
increasingly imaginative, so be sure to pull out your hammer-time parachute
pants, flash dance outfit (or maybe even consider starting to grow your mullet
now). Between 5:30 p.m.-7 p.m. on Friday, April 16, the Exhibitor Happy
Hour will be in full swing. You will be able to visit with the exhibitors in a
relaxing atmosphere and have your Cold Hard Cash Giveaway entry card
stamped to be eligible to enter the contest. The drawing for the Cold Hard
Cash will be held at noon on Saturday, April 17,
during the Beer Bash & Closing Toast.
On a competitive note, our official Director of
Tournaments, Dr. Glenn Hanf, would like to challenge
attendees to “go for broke” and play in both
the Townie Golf Tournament
(Wednesday, April 14) and
Townie Texas Hold’em Poker
Tournament. These events are
always very popular, well
attended and offer great prizes.
The Third Annual Townie Texas
Hold’em Poker Tournament,
sponsored by Sirona Dental
Systems, will be just like the
World Series of Poker with dealers,
spectators, cameras, cash prizes...
except it’s entirely populated with
Townies! The first round of the tournament
begins Friday, during the lunch break, and the championship round will take place during the
Exhibitor Happy Hour, Friday evening.
The Townie Meeting exhibit hall is unlike typical dental meeting
exhibit halls, due to the fact that we limit the number of booths
to give the attendees the opportunity to meet all the vendors and
form relationships with dentistry’s top companies. The exhibit hall
will open 7 a.m. on Thursday. Be sure to visit the Dentaltown
Lounge, located in the center of the exhibit hall where you can kick
back and relax on the sofas, check e-mail and visit with the
Dentaltown team. We would like to personally thank all of our
sponsors and exhibitors for their continued support; you make
Townie Meeting happen.
If this is your first Townie Meeting, a word of advice: rest up, because you don’t
want to miss one minute! Townie Meeting is a very up-tempo, high-energy meeting
and we promise you will enjoy the entire weekend. Also, if
you see us walking around, please introduce yourself to us,
we always want to meet new Townies. See you in Vegas!
