A2 EVENTS Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | January 2018 Glidewell takes C.E. on the road YDC BOOTH NO. 1513 Full-day Dallas event sells out By Robert Selleck, Managing Editor Attendee response to the inau- gural Glidewell Dental Sympo- sium 2017, held in November in Dallas, has the company plan- ning a 2018 follow-up. “It exceeded my expectations. I’m very, very pleased with it,” said Glide- well Laboratories President and CEO Jim Glidewell in an interview with Chairside Live, the company’s online educational and informational video platform. Com- menting on the event’s unique format, Glidewell said, “I think it’s going to be a big hit, and we’re going to see this be- yond Dallas. We’re getting information out there and helping dentistry to be more responsive and more valued.” The sold-out, single-day symposium AD brought together 11 opinion leaders from various sectors of dentistry, each delivering 30- to 40-minute presenta- tions. Topics included esthetic dentistry, digital dentistry, dental implants, tissue regeneration, sleep-related dentistry and practice management — all with a focus on tools and techniques that are helping dental practices achieve clinical and business success. Attendees of the sold-out event were able to earn up to eight C.E. units. When asked in the Chairside Live interview if more such events will be held, Glidewell said, “Absolutely. We think we can go to every major city in the United States, and this idea will work.” In addition to the speakers, the event included an interactive exhibits area featuring the latest tools and resources Glidewell Dental has available for prac- tices. Attendees were also able to take a virtual-reality tour of the main lab areas at the company’s 71,000-square-foot facility in Newport Beach, Calif.
