NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: Final registered attendance numbers for the 88th annual Greater New York Dental Meeting came in at 53,481, of which 18,305 were dentists representing all 50 states and 130 countries. The meeting continues to be the largest dental meeting in the United States. Organizers of the 2012 GNYDM describe the event as a complete success.

The convention/exhibition/congress, held Nov. 23–28, opened in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center just four weeks after super storm Sandy cut a path of destruction across the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.

The Javits Center experienced some exterior damage and extensive flooding on its lower level, but an around-the-clock effort had it up and running in time for the meeting to open as scheduled. The GNYDM was packed with its usual vast array of the latest in technologies, resources, products — and an extensive agenda of educational opportunities.

Meeting organizers report that the reaction from attendees, exhibitors and sponsors was unanimous: Not only were the exhibit floor, clinicians and networking events well received, but sales opportunities were described as unprecedented.

Planning is well under way for the 2013 meeting. Free registration is now open for 2013 at www.gnydm.com. The dates are Nov. 29 through Dec. 4 for the scientific meeting and Dec. 1 through Dec. 4 for the exhibit hall.

The Greater New York Dental Meeting is sponsored by the New York County Dental Society and Second District Dental Society.

The high-energy event, which never has a pre-registration fee, draws top dental professionals with an expansive exhibit hall and more than 300 educational courses, including full-day and half-day seminars, essays, hands-on workshops and a live, 430-seat, high-tech patient demonstration area.
