Photos/Provided by xpAPce Ad Greater New York Dental Meeting attracts more than 53,000 Final registered attendance numbers for the 88th annual Greater New York Dental Meeting came in at 53,481, of which 18,305 were dentists representing all 50 states and 130 countries. The meet- ing continues to be the largest dental meeting in the United States. Organizers of the 2012 Greater New York Dental Meeting describe the event as a complete success. The convention/ exhibition/congress, held Nov. 23–28, opened in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center just four weeks after Superstorm Sandy cut a path of destruction across the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. The Javits Center experienced some ex- terior damage and extensive flooding on its lower level, but an around-the-clock effort had it up and running in time for the meeting to open as scheduled. The GNYDM was packed with its usual vast array of the latest in technologies, re- sources, products — and an extensive agenda of educational opportunities. Meeting organizers report that the re- action from attendees, exhibitors and sponsors was unanimous: Not only were the exhibit floor, clinicians and network- ing events well received, but sales op- portunities were described as unprec- edented. Planning is well under way for the 2013 meeting. The dates are Nov. 29 through Dec. 4 for the scientific meeting and Dec. 1 through Dec. 4 for the exhibit hall. The Greater New York Dental Meeting is sponsored by the New York County Dental Society and Second District Den- tal Society. The high-energy event, which never has a pre-registration fee, draws top dental professionals with an expansive exhibit hall and more than 300 educa- tional courses, including full-day and half-day seminars, essays, hands-on workshops and a live, 430-seat, high-tech patient demonstration area. Free registration is now open for 2013 at www.gnydm.com.
