The holidays are over and that means it's time to shift your attention to the next big event: the 2013 Townie
Meeting, April 17-20 in Las Vegas! If you haven't already purchased your tickets, booked your hotel and
scoured thrift shops for your best 1920s speakeasy-style outfit (for this year's roaring 20s-themed opening
party!) - now is the time. Here is a reminder of some of the highlights of this year's Townie Meeting.

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

continual emergent trend of reducing the invasive nature, and thus, the efficiency of
implant surgery. Wednesday, April 17, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Cost: $595 includes continental
breakfast and lunch.
Wednesday Workshop:
Improving Your Confidence and Competence in Office Oral
Surgery with Dr. Jay B. Reznick |

transportation and lunch. Buses depart Planet Hollywood at 11 a.m.
Wine and Cheese Welcome Reception
Wednesday, April 17 • 6 - 8 p.m.
As Townies roll into town on Wednesday, stop by and see old friends and make new
ones at the evening wine and cheese reception. This is a great time to visit the registration

and soft drinks while you mingle.
