Dear Exhibitors:

Welcome to our first electronic newsletter created just for CDA exhibitors! As part of our continuous work to enhance your success at the CDA Scientific Sessions and to make our show like no other dental convention, we have created this newsletter as a way to share valuable and up-to-date information in a convenient style.

Expect to receive the CDA Connection in your in-box every two months with valuable information regarding the upcoming CDA Scientific Sessions including important deadlines, exhibitor service information, sponsorship/advertising/media opportunities, city and hotel information and on-site show services. To help you with your exhibit strategy, we will share member attendance and demographic information, education and industry news.

I encourage you to forward this newsletter to team members in your organization. To do so, please click on the “Send this email to a colleague” located at the bottom of this newsletter. Even better, you can also opt them in so they receive future newsletters directly from us… saving you the time of forwarding it!

CDA is dedicated to being a leader in the dental meeting industry. We believe our exhibitors are our partners in business and we strive to continue to enhance our annual meetings for the success of all participants. If there is specific content you would like to see in the CDA Connection, please send me an e-mail to exhibitorinfo@cda.org.

See you in Anaheim!

Who usually attends the Spring Scientific Session in Anaheim? We know. What is the composition of dentist attendees? We know that too. To help you gain a better understanding of our members and attendees and know what to expect at our meeting we’ve complied some interesting demographics.

In a 2007 survey, the Spring Scientific Session is highly regarded as an excellent show for attendees to learn about the latest dental products and services.

Chang's and Roy's of Hawaii. The first phase of restaurants located along Katella Avenue is slated to open in November of 2007.

Two world-famous restaurants are staking out their territory in Anaheim, and bringing the sizzle of a premier steak house within close reach of Anaheim’s meeting attendees. Morton’s Steakhouse and Ruth’s Chris Steak House are conveniently located just steps from the Anaheim Convention Center.
