THANK YOU TO THE EXHIBITORS OF THE 2009 TODS DENTAL MEETING! 

2009 Exhibit Information

The Thompson Okanagan Dental Society wishes to express it's sincere appreciation to the dental exhibit companies that each year support our meeting. We look forward each year to hosting a wonderful array of companies that are so vital to the profession.

The 2009 Thompson Okanagan Dental Meeting is supported by 70 exhibits. Supply companies, laboratories, practice management advisors, computer dental software, and various other companies, supplying the needs of the dental profession to provide quality service to its clients, arrive each year hosted by the Thompson Okanagan Dental Society. The Society in returns supports professional member associations and regulatory colleges of the profession by providing forums where members and association/regulatory staff can discuss concerns in person.
 
Companies wishing to exhibit at the annual Thompson Okanagan Dental Meeting are encouraged to contact Ms. Lane Shupe, (250) 764-2120 or shupe@direct.ca for further information. 
 

Friday October 23, 2009  Join us for the  
5th Annual Silent Auction

As part of TODS ongoing commitment to both the professional and general community, a yearly fundraising activity is held to provide funding to dental and community organizations.  In 2008, the silent auction benefited the Cancer Centre of the Southern Interior. An incredible $13,900.00 was raised in support of the Cancer Centre of the Southern Interior. A very special thank you to all exhibitors who helped support this very worthwhile charity.

We sincerely appreciate the tremendous response we have received from exhibitors over the past few years and thank you for your continued support of this meeting

Unfortunately, the requests we receive for exhibit space exceed the number of spaces we have the room to offer. The amount of exhibit space is limited by the size of the Convention Centre and the City of Kelowna Fire Regulations.

Therefore, we award exhibit space in the order the requests are received, by the nature of your exhibit, and requests from our sponsors. We cannot award or reserve your exhibit space unless we receive your Request for Exhibit Space form and payment in full.

We are offering a reduced fee for early registration of additional booth representatives. The deadline date for early registration of additional exhibitor personnel is October 8th , 2009.

It is vitally important to ensure Exhibitor registration is completed correctly and mailed as soon as possible as our booth and tabletop rentals will be assigned on a priority basis according to when the registration is received.  In the past many exhibitors have been disappointed by waiting too long to send the registration.
Exhibitor registrations WILL NOT BE PROCESSED unless accompanied by FULL PAYMENT.

For 2009, we will confirm receipt of your attendance and receipt of monies for booth or tabletop rentals via e-mail.
