Montreal, Quebec, Canada and New York, N.Y., USA: The Ordre des dentistes du Québec (ODQ) will hold its 42nd Annual Meeting, the Journées dentaires internationales du Québec (JDIQ), from May 25 to 29 at the Palais des congrès in Montréal, Québec. Last year’s meeting attracted 12,314 participants from around the world, ranking it among the top 10 dental conferences in North America.

The event features Canada’s largest exhibition floor and ample opportunity for all dental professionals to earn C.E. credits. Members of the entire dental team are well represented through their professional dental organizations, including hygienists, assistants, office personnel and dental technicians.

For the first time, JDIQ and Dental Tribune International will host a Dental Tribune Study Club (DTSC) C.E. Symposia right in the center of the exhibit floor. On both days of the meeting, a leading panel of specialists will offer ADA CERP-accredited C.E. lectures covering various dental specialties. Lectures will be offered in either English or French.

Visit the exhibit floor to earn credits. There also will be a chance to win prizes.
