Conference Welcome

Welcome to the 2011 Pacific Dental Conference at the Vancouver Convention Centre, West Building. This is our second year in this incredible venue and I think that all of you would agree that the new home of the PDC has brought the conference to a fresh, exciting level. The PDC is fast becoming the most recognized dental conference in Canada by attendees, exhibitors and speakers and we are pleased to offer our participants the widest selection of quality continuing education programming. This year with 130 speakers presenting and a selection of 205 sessions to choose from, you will find more than enough variety for all members of the dental team. Over the three day conference, you can refine your clinical and practice excellence, participate in personal development courses and, of course, meet with your colleagues in a relaxed environment at one of our popular social events. Our outstanding roster of speakers from Canada, the United States and outside North America will be presenting topics ranging from clinical dentistry to team building and other important facets of dental practice. Improving the Saturday programming has been a main focus for us here at the PDC. This year we have full day of excellent sessions and are kick-starting the day with some good old Canadian entertainment as Corner Gas star and creator Brent Butt takes the stage at 8:30am for our inaugural Saturday Morning Breakfast Session. Due to popular demand we have also brought back the So You Think You Can Speak? Series – be sure to include one or two of these sessions in your Saturday schedule in support of these new budding speakers. Once again our Exhibit Hall continues to grow and 2011 will be our largest ever! With over 267 exhibitors occupying 540 booths, you will be guaranteed to find the latest and best range of products and services for your practice. The Exhibit Hall provides an excellent opportunity for you to compare products and services from the leading companies in the dental industry. We encourage you to support our exhibitors as they are a large part of the continued success of this annual conference. Please be sure to stop by the Live Dentistry Stage while you are visiting the Exhibit Hall and check out the live demonstrations taking place on both Thursday and Friday. Be sure to take some time to enjoy our spectacular city that has so much to offer – arts, culture, incredible dining, spectacular sights and wide range of attractions. Even for those who call Vancouver home, pretend you are a visitor for the three days – you won’t be disappointed in your stay.

Alumni Meetings / In Memoriam

Alumni Meetings

In 2004, Jim was contracted to oversee the organization of the Pacific Dental Conference. Under his leadership, the PDC introduced a number of new initiatives to enhance the conference experience for attendees. This included the addition of online registration and the movement towards making the PDC a ‘greener’ meeting. He worked in collaboration with PDC founder, Dr. Bob Hicks, to ensure that the quality of the Conference was maintained and continued to be the success that it is today. Jim worked on the event until 2007. Jim was well respected and will be missed by his many colleagues in the dental profession.

This philosophy has continued to foster the growth of the Pacific Dental Conference to the current day.
