NEW YORK CITY: As everyone knows, it is considered quite an honor to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and on Friday, Dec. 3, Dr Robert R. Edwab, executive director of the Greater New York Dental Meeting (GNYDM) was among dignitaries selected to kick off the day’s trading along with executives from Marriott International.

The New York Marriott Marquis was celebrating its 25th anniversary and partnership with GNYDM, and it was a fitting occasion for the ceremony, coming just two days after the conclusion of the 86th annual GNYDM event.

Located in Times Square, the New York Marriott Marquis is one of Marriott International’s flagship hotels, with 1,949 rooms and over 100,000 square feet of banquet and meeting space.

GNYDM is one of the hotel’s most important clients and one of the largest dental congresses and expos in the United States. This year’s event ran from Nov. 26 to Dec. 1, and it attracted nearly 60,000 dental professionals from around the world to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

Marriott officials said they appreciate their business partnership with GNYDM throughout the years.

At the conclusion of trading on Dec. 3, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 19.68 points for the day, closing at 11,382.09.
