Dental Tribune U.S. Edition

Ad Record numbers anticipated at Canada's biggest dental meeting Registration is now open for the Journées dentaires internationales du Québec, May 25–29 in Montréal. This 42nd edition of Canada’s largest annual dental meeting promises to once again break all attendance records, with more than 12,000 delegates expected from around the world. Located in the heart of beautiful down- town Montreal, this annual gathering of the entire dental profession features five days of ADA CERP-accredited continuing education courses in lecture and work- shop formats as well as two full days of C.E. courses in the exhibit hall. In addi- tion to having more than 325 exhibitor booths, the exhibition floor will host the Dental Tribune Study Club Sympo- sia, where 10 lectures will be presented over the two-day period, providing par- ticipants the opportunity to obtain C.E. credits at no extra charge. The exhibit hall also will feature an opening cer- emony, drawings for iPads, a dentists’ art exhibition and much more. The scientific program offers attend- ees a choice of more than 100 lectures in both English and French. The event pre- senter, the Ordre des dentistes du Qué- bec (ODQ), has announced a fee reduc- tion of more than 30 percent compared with last year for preconvention courses. The ODQ is honored to feature Drs. Gor- don Christensen, John West, Robert Mar- geas, Gerard Kugel, Jose Luis Ruiz, Harald Heymann and Tim Donley among the invited speakers, just to name a few. The limited-attendance workshops are quickly reaching their maximum num- ber of registrants, so be sure to register early to avoid disappointment.
