The First-ever "Townie Talks"

Too many speakers, not enough time? We know - but fret not, we've got you covered. This year we are introducing Townie Talks - our play on TED Talks - where the 2013 Townie Meeting keynote speakers each get 18 minutes in front of the general session to clearly and concisely express their thoughts on how to make dentistry more effective, more efficient and more enjoyable.

If you like what they have to say and want to hear more, join them in their breakout session later that day. This way you get a little taste of everything, but can more easily decide who you need to hear speak in full.

Wednesday Workshop:
Emerging Trends in Implant Surgery with Dr. Brady Frank

Wednesday Workshop:
Improving Your Confidence and Competence in Office Oral Surgery with Dr. Jay B. Reznick
