You Should Know:
Townie Meeting
Wednesday, April 17 to Saturday, April 20, 2013 at the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas
Being a Townie is more than just having a login name
and password on Dentaltown.com, it means being part of
a supportive and tight-knit community of other passionate
dental professionals. Dentaltown is comprised of hardworking
clinicians who - through daily online interaction -
help each other become better dentists. And for this
group of hard-working dentists, they like to play hard,
too. Each year Townies from coast to coast (and even some
from abroad) come together for Townie Meeting in Las
Vegas - the biggest dental party in the world... with some
great CE tossed in.
Like Dentaltown.com, Townie Meeting was started for
dentists by dentists. Dr. Sameer Puri ("socalsam"), a West
Coast dentist, and Dr. Tarun Argawal ("T-bone"), an East
Coast clinician, were in constant conversation on the
Dentaltown.com message boards. They gave each other
feedback on cases, advice on patients and even shared
workout tips. They valued each other's opinions but had
never met face to face. Eleven years ago they decided they
wanted to meet, and so Townie Meeting was born. Townie
Meeting has since grown to be one of the most talked
about dental shows each year.
Starting out in dentistry is intimidating and can feel
very solitary. Becoming a part of the camaraderie of
Townie Meeting can do wonders for your professional
career and confidence. At a meeting built on the dual pillars
of learning and community, you will have the chance
to network with new and seasoned dentists alike, making
friends and mentors for life - so you'll never have to feel
like you're practicing alone.

5 Reasons to Go to the Townie Meeting
|
1. It’s in Vegas
It’s common knowledge that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. And at the Townie Meeting, a lot can happen. Don’t be the dentist left in the dark. The 2013 meeting is at Planet Hollywood, where you’ll mingle with peers, meet mentors and geek out on dentistry, all with America’s playground as your backdrop.
2. You’ll See Old Friends and Meet New Ones
Dentaltown thrives because it is much more than just message boards. The community and camaraderie generated online spills onto Las Vegas Boulevard as colleagues who once knew each other only by their Dentaltown display names become friends for life. Townie Meeting is a delightful balance of professional networking and rollicking party!
3. There Are So Many Social Events
Learning is a cornerstone of any conference (especially Townie Meeting), but our event has an equal focus on hobnobbing. A golf tournament, some Texas Hold ‘em and the Roaring-’20s-themed opening party are just a few. Beyond just being social, there are great networking opportunities with Wednesday’s Wine and Cheese Reception, an exhibitor’s happy hour and a vast array of restaurants and bars to share a drink with colleagues after hours.

4. You'll Attend Top-notch Continuing Education Courses
You've recently graduated, but the real learning starts now. At the Townie Meeting, you'll find an array of continuing education courses from which to choose. The more intimate environment lends itself to a low student-teacher ratio, so CE courses are focused and allow participants the chance to dialogue with the exceptional speakers. For those who would rather soak up a little vitamin D, this year, we're even offering CE courses poolside (talk about laid-back learning).
5. You'll Never Have to Practice Alone
You might be the only doctor in your practice, but Dentaltown gives you the means to never practice alone. With Dentaltown, you're only a stranger once, after that, you're family. Consider Townie Meeting a family reunion you actually want to go to. We cannot, however, guarantee that your crazy aunt won't show up.
The best part is the party doesn't end. On Dentaltown.com you'll be able to interact with the new friends, colleagues and lecturers you met at Townie Meeting. You can connect with professionals who can offer feedback, post cases you need help with or ask questions you might hesitate to ask anywhere else. Upon returning to your office Monday morning with your new community of support, you'll quickly understand what makes Dentaltown different.
