You Should Know:
Townie Meeting

Wednesday, April 23 to Saturday, April 26, 2014 at The Cosmopolitan of 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.
2014 Fee Schedule   Like Dentaltown.com, Townie Meeting was started for dentists by dentists. Dr. Sameer Puri (socalsam), a West Coast dentist, and Dr. Tarun Agarwal (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. Twelve years ago they decided they wanted to meet, and so Townie Meeting was born in 2003. 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 2014 meeting is at The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas, 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 "Townies After Dark" - a pajama-party-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. Also unique to Townie Meeting are the Townie Talks. Modeled after Ted Talks, speakers have 18 minutes to abridge their lecture and convince you to attend their longer afternoon breakout sessions.

5. You'll Never Have to Practice Alone
You may 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.
