The BDTA Dental Showcase 2009 attracted more members of the dental team than ever before, with 13,178 visitors attending the event over the three days.

Showcase provided an opportunity to learn, research, compare and purchase dental products and services in a comfortable, neutral environment.

Visitors benefited from a range of CPD opportunities with lectures delivered by Chris Orr, Martin Trope and representatives from Dental Business Solutions and the FGDP.  Daily seminars covering the core subjects recommended by the GDC were also delivered over the three days. The sessions were popular and the purpose built lecture theatre, which had doubled in size since last year’s Show, was busy throughout the event.

With more than 360 exhibitors displaying the latest products, explaining about new time and cost saving services and demonstrating the most up to date technologies, visitors gained a wide range of knowledge and items to assist with the efficient running of the dental practice or laboratory and bring maximum benefit to patient care.

There was time for visitors to enjoy the selection of ‘Treasures of Dentistry’ themed activities taking place in the hall. The free mocktails and sorbets on the ‘treasure island’ were in high demand and hundreds of visitors flocked to the photography area on the feature area to have their picture taken on the tropical beach, with compliments of the BDTA.  The Showcase mascot proved ever popular with many keen to take part in the Tweetums Treasure Hunt. The Caribbean Regals steel band encouraged visitors and exhibitors to get in the Caribbean mood with tropical sounds greeting people on arrival to the exhibition.
