CHICAGO, Ill., USA: The exhibit hall at the Chicago Dental Society’s Midwinter Meeting has long been a popular draw at the 150-plus-year-old meeting. And this year there are even more reasons to include it as a core component of your Midwinter Meeting experience. The meeting will be held from Feb. 25–27, at McCormick Place West in downtown Chicago.

New at this year’s meeting is the Midwinter Bistro, located in the CDS Restaurant on Level 3 and in the exhibit hall. You can reserve your seat online for lunch in the CDS Bistro by visiting www.bistrotickets.com/cds after you preregister for the meeting.

Of course, the 460,000-square-foot exhibition hall also will feature its usual array of the latest in professional products and instruments. Attendees will be able to experience hands-on introductions to equipment and materials, meet with reps knowledgeable about top products and learn more about dentistry’s latest state-of-the-art advancements from more than 600 exhibitors.

Exhibits, entertainment and a Virtual Tradeshow Bag

The Midwinter Meeting exhibit hall adds another new twist this year when Ronnie Rice (formerly of Chicago’s own New Colony Six) and Skip Graparis (musician, film actor and comic, who also sang with the New Colony Six and appeared as Monte the Colorman in “Major League” I and II) perform from 2–3:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25, and Friday, Feb. 26. They will perform at the Hospitality Hub, behind the Overlook Café on the exhibition floor.

Also new for the 151^stMidwinter Meeting, attendees can take advantage of special offers via a Virtual Tradeshow Bag. The Virtual Tradeshow Bag will be emailed to the primary registrant beginning Feb. 24. All attendees can access the Virtual Tradeshow Bag when they download the Midwinter Meeting mobile app.

Treats in the exhibit hall

When you visit the exhibit hall, you also can enjoy an ice cream treat courtesy of the CDS. Free-taste ice cream treats will be available on the exhibit floor during all three days of the meeting, starting at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25, and Friday, Feb. 26, and starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 27, while supplies last on each day (so be sure to get there on time if you’re set on enjoying a treat).

Innovative continuing education

The CDS member-leadership team reports that it is always looking for ways to improve the Midwinter Meeting. And evidence of that is visible this year in the three new learning tracks that have been added to the meeting. For the first time, the University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry, the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine and the Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine will each have their own C.E. tracks at the meeting.

Don’t miss Navi

It’s not all dentistry at the Midwinter Meeting, as confirmed at the ticketed opening session. 5:30 p.m. Thursday. The session features a performance by Navi, described as the No. 1 Michael Jackson impersonator. The performer from the United Kingdom will present his show “King of Pop – the Legend Continues.”
