SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., USA: CDA Presents continues to expand its educational offerings, evidenced by the San Francisco event’s packed agenda and large exhibit-hall numbers. Attendees at the Sept. 4 - 6 meeting can expect to see a wide variety of presentations and some of the industry’s newest equipment on display in the exhibit hall.

The meeting has developed a reputation as a West Coast product-launch venue by many dental companies.

“We expect this show to be one of the best we have put on in San Francisco,” said Del Brunner, DDS, CDA Presents board of managers chair. “We strive to adapt and enhance our programs based on what members want and need to help them better their practices.”

As the site of numerous new product launches every year and featuring more than 375 companies, the exhibit hall floor at CDA Presents consistently ranks among the busiest in the country.

Attendees can explore 80,000 square feet of dental innovation. Staggered class schedules also provide attendees more time to conduct business on the exhibit hall floor without conflict with educational offerings. The CDA Presents Board of Managers did this to create a situation where the exhibitor floor midday foot traffic was less overwhelming for attendees. The board accomplished this by moving the start time for some of the classes to 8 a.m. This gives more people an opportunity to see all the great dental products available.

Headlining speakers

Some of the biggest names in dentistry are consistently a major draw at the convention, and this year is no exception. The various speakers’ insights and inspiration will help dentists and staff excel in every aspect of dentistry.

According to the meeting organizers, some of dentistry’s most captivating speakers will be headlining the conference, presenting innovative lectures and educational workshops. Dentists and all members of the dental team will have a wide variety of opportunities to learn about the latest advancements relating to all aspects of the dental profession.

The Moscone Center and neighborhoods beyond

In addition to providing informative lectures and hands-on opportunities to explore the latest in new dental products, CDA Presents also offers up one of the country’s most popular destination cities as its backdrop. San Francisco provides a near-unlimited variety of venues for mingling with colleagues in the evenings.

The CDA Party will take place at the California Academy of Sciences on Friday, Sept. 5, from 7 to 10 p.m. There are several restaurants near the Moscone Center as well, including North Beach Restaurant (1512 Stockton St.), Jillian’s (101 4th St.), La Briciola Restaurant (489 Third St.), Rocco’s Cafe (1131 Folsom St.), Cesario’s Fine Food (601 Sutter S.), Waiters On Wheels (5425 Mission St.) and Firenze By Night (1429 Stockton St.).

Also nearby is an array of museums that are open in the evenings. For more information about the CDA Party, visit www.cdapresents.com. For more information about San Francisco, visit the San Francisco Visitors Bureau website.

Engage and inspire the entire staff

The CDA Presents Board of Managers reports that it strives to ensure all attendees, including staff, have the opportunity to learn from some of the most successful names in dentistry.

Office staff members will be able to glean some key takeaways on topics such as effective communication skills, how to deal with difficult people, hands-on social media tips, the top five skills every administrative team member must master, trends in dental insurance and diagnosing and treatment challenges of periodontal diseases.

Dentists can have their staffs attend profession-specific lectures and workshops. Staff members also enjoy having the time to get to know their colleagues outside of the daily office setting.
