Dental Tribune U.S. Edition

Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | September 2013 A9 Next year’s JDIQ meeting includes Association of Prosthodontists of Canada Following what meeting organizers describe as a highly successful conven- tion this past spring, planning is now in full force for the 44th edition of the Journées dentaires internationales du Québec, which will take place from May 23–27 at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. At the 2014 meeting, JDIQ will host the Association of Prosthodontists of Canada. Among the results expected from this joint venture, which also in- volves the Association of Prosthodon- tists of Quebec, will be a larger number of top speakers in implant and restor- ative dentistry — and a presence at the meeting of a larger number of prosth- odontists from across Canada. The annual meeting of the Ordre des dentistes du Québec continues to be one of the highest-attended dental meetings in North America. In 2014, meeting organizers expect to host well more than 12,000 delegates from around the world. The meeting will feature a scientific program with more than 100 lectures and workshops presented in English and French. The JDIQ meeting is de- scribed by organizers as being Canada’s most highly attended bilingual con- vention. More than 225 exhibitors will occupy approximately 500 booths in the ex- hibit hall, making it one of the largest in Canada. The exhibition will be open on Monday and Tuesday, May 26 and 27, and it will feature a continental break- fast on both days for the early risers as well as a wine and cheese reception to close out both afternoons. Featured 2014 speakers already in the lineup include Drs. Dale Miles, Robert Langlais, Steven Olmos, Stephen Niem- czyk, Manor Hass, Jonathan Bregman, Michael Di Tolla, Gerry Kugel, Karl Ko- erner, Joe Blaes, Jason Smithson, Brian Novy, Ken Hargreaves, Thomas Dud- ney, Robert Gutneck, Tieraona Low-Dog and James Mah, to name just a few.
