WIN-WIN-WIN

Every year, the CSPD Annual Meeting Committee works extremely hard to make this conference a “Win-WinWin” for everyone. They try their best to find the best locations, recruit the best speakers, and solicit the best vendors, sponsors, and exhibitors in the dental industry.

NOTE: Deadline for submission of sponsorship is February 2, 2021. Higher level sponsorships tend to fill early. Register now and reserve your spot.

CSPD “wins” when the meeting is profitable and the organization remains financially viable. The attendees “win” when there is a strong scientific program and vendor exhibits that better equip them to run successful and profitable practices. The exhibitors “win” when they develop relationships with prospective new clients, maintain the ones with existing clients, and can successfully market their products or services.

In as such, we have found that the vendors, sponsors, and exhibitors that experience the most success, are those who have products or services that are either innovative, trendy, or are applicable to the practice of Pediatric Dentistry. Vendors who offer “convention discounts”, “special offers” or “give-a-ways” also experience more traffic to their booths and generate more business.

The CSPD Annual Meeting Committee will do their very best to drive as much traffic of the attendees to the Exhibit Hall and create multiple opportunities throughout the conference for the exhibitors and sponsors to market themselves, but it is up to the individual exhibitors to create a “buzz” or need for their product.

Let’s make 2021 a “Win-Win-Win” together!
