Townie Meeting Recap
There are dozens of dental meetings that take place around the world each year;
but there's only one meeting where members of the Dentaltown community specifically
get together to celebrate, for camaraderie and some continuing education. From
Sydney, Australia to San Diego, California – Townies from everywhere attend lectures,
engage in poker and golf tournaments and have a few cocktails with friends and
party in true Las Vegas fashion.

and danced the night away on May 5, 2011 (or "Cinco de
Mayo" – a day of celebration and pride for those of Mexican heritage – and the theme of this year's Townie party).

Townie Bike Giveaway |
The gang at Dentaltown hosted a sweepstakes for two official "Townie" Bikes.
(Nice coincidence, right?)
Just as the Townie bike has several differences vs. standard road bikes, we
at Dentaltown believe the Townie dentist has several advantages over the typical
dentist. These include but are not limited to: 1) In touch with thousands of colleagues;
2) Continually reviewing best practices; 3) Uses efficient methods of
gathering and processing information and 4) Remains energized from ongoing
Townie community involvement.
The first winner, Dr. Sumeet Beri (left) was congratulated by Dentaltown
founder and CEO, Dr. Howard Farran, after Beri answered the question, "How
many pages have there been in Dentaltown Magazine from May 2001 through
May 2011?" Beri guessed within a remarkable 10 pages of the actual answer,
which was 11,260. |

Dr. Kent Jackson won the second day. After he selects the color he wants,
we will be shipping his bike off to Maryland! Jackson answered the question, "Since the beginning of Dentaltown, what is the cumulative
number of times that all topics and threads have been viewed?" with the answer of 35 million views. The correct answer is 35,069,048.
Congrats to both Townie bike winners! |
