Welcome Exhibitors:
On behalf of the Iowa Dental Association, it is our pleasure to invite you to exhibit during our Annual Session May 5-7, 2016, at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, Iowa. Exhibit days will be Friday all day and ½ day on Saturday!
For those of you who exhibited with us in the past, we enjoyed your partnership and look forward to continuing our relationship as it is our exhibitors who create the energy and excitement that is vital to the success of our meeting. For those of you who will be new to the Iowa Dental Association Annual Session, we encourage you to take advantage of this unique marketing opportunity for your company.
Each year the Iowa Dental Association’s Annual Session brings together 2,500 dental professionals from all across the state. We are committed to attracting these professionals to the meeting by providing them with a vast array of educational programs presented by top lecturers from across the nation.
