Countdown to Showcase

The BDTA Dental Showcase takes place at the NEC, Birmingham from Thursday 12 November to Saturday 14 November 2009. A special research area will be set up within the hall for visitors to enjoy refreshments and take part in a focus group. There will also be questionnaires to complete.

Participants will receive the exhibition mascot to take home with them and will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win a case of wine. The research will investigate participants' reasons for attending BDTA Dental Showcase 2009 and how visitors would like to see the event improved in the future.

There will also be a chance to have a team or individual photograph taken in a special beach-themed photography spot set up in the feature area to link in with the 'Treasures of Dentistry' theme being used to promote this year's Showcase. You will be able to download your photographs free from the Showcase website at http://www.dentalshowcase.com. Alternatively, you can request a print to be sent to you to frame in your practice or laboratory.
