Linda Stranks, Director of Marketing and Membership at the BDA said:

 

“We have designed this App to make the event experience as simple and smooth as possible.

“Many of our delegates now carry smartphones so it makes sense to interact with them and provide show information directly into their hands. We want to make the event even more interesting for visitors and more interactive for exhibitors.”

 

This year’s event will take place from May 7-9, at the Manchester Central Convention Complex. Leading names in dentistry from the UK and beyond will be presenting including Jason Smithson, private practitioner, Cornwall and well known expert in restorative dentistry; Daniel Wismeijer, Professor and Head of Department of Oral Implantology and Aesthetic Dentistry, Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACDA); Basil Mizrahi, prosthodontics and restorative dentistry specialist, Honorary Clinical Lecturer at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute, and Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics; and Francesco Mannocci, Professor of Endontology at King’s College London Dental Institute. In total over 100 speakers will be presenting over the course of the three day event.

 

Further event highlights include a live demonstration theatre, a large exhibition featuring a Speakers’ corner, Innovation zone, free advice sessions with BDA advisors and an evening social programme including networking drinks, a Cuban party night and Spring Ball for Foundation Dentists. Up to 15 hours CPD will be on offer, with all core CPD subjects covered.
