2012 Garden State Dental Conference & Expo

The 2011 Garden State Dental Conference & Expo will be a tough act to follow.  After all it drew more dentists than any time in the last 10 years.  The NJDA has every intentionn of topping last year's performance.  The NJDA staff, directed by the Council on Annual Session, is hard at work building a conference that will bridge the traditional street fair-style event you have come to know and love and the world of mobile and wireless technology and social media.  The 2012 Garden State Dental Conference & Expo, June 22-23, is under construction- a bridge under construction.  More details are forthcoming, but we can assure you the confernce will debut some things you've never seen before at an NJDA event.

We are once again at OCEAN PLACE RESORT, in Long Branch.  Led by new management, the property is undergoing some improvements of its own to beter position it for the planned growth of the area.  The spectaular resort, along with planned activities for children and CE and social events for dentists, auxiliaries and office staff alike, are bound to make the 2012 conference one for the ages.  The only thing that can make it even better is your presence.

Dental-related companies are booking their exhibit floor space every day.  Dentists are telling us how excited they are that we are back at Ocean Place Resort.  Wehope to see you, your family and your staff at the conference in 2012.

Mr Eric Elmore of the NJDA will be visiting with us at our March meeting.  He will be presenting the full overview of the Conference, and a chance for you to win some incredible prizes just for attending our meeting.
