JANUARY 2016 — Vol. 11, No. 1 www.dental-tribune.com IMPLANT TRIBUNE The World’s Dental Implant Newspaper · U.S. Edition Winter implant symposium to focus on global innovation, collaboration By Craig Johnson, ICOI Excutive Director C linicians currently experienc- ing chilly winter weather may want to plan to spend some time in Miami as the ICOI Win- ter Implant Symposium moves to the Doral International resort in Miami. The dates for this year’s conference will be Feb. 12-14, and event planners suggest you bring your spouse with you for Valentine’s Day. This travel mecca for golfers has four outstanding courses, including the fa- mous, tough (and expensive) Blue Mon- ster! But the social offerings are not lim- ited to golf options. The Trump Nation- al Doral has everything a world-class resort has to offer, including deluxe sleeping rooms and suites, spa facilities, two swimming pools/cabanas and pre- miere dining. The National Doral is very close to the Miami International airport, so there is probably little need for a car. A new shopping area with multiple restaurant opportunities is across the street from the Doral, should you even think of leaving. Keeping with the theme of this year’s winter meeting, “Global Innovation, Collaboration and Practical Concepts to Achieve Dental Implant Success,” the ICOI’s Scientiic Chair, Dr. Scott Ganz, has put together a truly international faculty. For this educational experience, we will feature the following speakers: Drs. Alessandro Agnini and Andrea Agnini, Modena, Italy; Dr. Orlando Alvarez, Santiago, Chile; Dr. Christian Coach- man, Sao Paulo, Brazil; Dr. Lesley David, Toronto, Canada; Dr. German Gallucci, Sunny Miami will be the site of the ICOI Winter Implant Symposium this Feb. 12–14.
