Preview of Things to Come
Expand your business and manufacturer contacts at the DTA Preview Show
By Gary W. Price, CEO, of Dental Trade Alliance
The coming New Year focuses us on planning for the economic upturn we hope to see in the first quarter. Part of your plan should be to attend the DTA Preview Show in Chicago. Hosted by the DTA, the Preview Show is the best business-to-business meeting in the United States – where distributors can meet a wide array of dental manufacturers. This is a great way to expand your business and widen your manufacturer contacts.
The Preview Show is an annual table top exhibition with over 100 manufacturers. Manufacturers represent all facets of the dental industry including disposables, pharmaceuticals, hand-pieces, chair manufacturers, large equipment and new emerging technologies. These manufacturers are seeking new distribution channels and strategic partners for their products. A number of manufacturers are looking to discuss private label opportunities. There are also hundreds of international companies looking for new distribution contacts in the United States.
In the past two years, more than 25 manufacturers exhibited at the Preview Show for the first time. Many of these companies were new to the industry. Distributors and their reps are welcome to visit the Preview Show – free of charge. To pre–register for the Preview Show (DTA will have a badge waiting for your reps at the registration area) – e-mail: info@dentaltradealliance.org or fax the names, company and titles to (703) 931-9429.
The 2010 Preview Show takes place on Wednesday, Feb. 24. The Preview Show is located in the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, adjacent to the McCormick Center and site of the Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting near downtown Chicago. The hours are 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Note, the Preview Show has moved to Wednesday in 2010.The Preview Show always precedes the Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Exhibition by one day. The CDS Midwinter Meeting has moved to a Thursday, Friday and Saturday Exhibition.
While in Chicago for the Preview Show, make plans to attend the DTA World Dental Trade Conference that morning at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place. The 2010 WDTC Key Note Speaker is Michael Treacy. Michael Treacy is DTA’s highest rated speaker and a leading consultant to many of America’s largest corporations. You will learn practical steps to promote growth and sales in dental. Cost is $150 per person and includes breakfast. The World Dental Trade Conference also represents one of the best networking opportunities in our industry.
