DISCOVERY ZONE
Make NADP’s Discovery Zone Your Profit Zone! The CONVERGE Discovery Zone is your opportunity to present your products and services to top decision-makers from hundreds of dental plan leaders from across the nation! Now is the time to take advantage of the exciting business development opportunities the Discovery Zone has to offer. Two days of dynamic networking, learning, and business opportunities featuring dedicated exhibit time – all structured in ways that build traffic. In addition to connecting with clients and prospects during exhibit hours, you can arrange one-onone appointments with top prospects when the exhibit hall is closed. In 2016, 95% of Discovery Zone exhibitors rated CONVERGE as good or excellent. That’s an astounding response! Some exhibitor’s comments: • • • •
Attendees were the exact people that we wanted to meet. Great forum to meet with industry leaders and decision makers. I liked how the breaks were planned to direct attendees to exhibit hall. People actually hung-out in the exhibit hall…it seemed to be THE location.
DZ Demos are 12-minute demonstrations by exhibitors and are an event highlight returning in 2017 – another reason to act now to secure exhibit space and apply to present a DZ Demo to share your newest products and services. Limited spots available. NADP represents more than 90% of the industry – a concentration of buyers, thought-leaders and decision-makers unmatched anywhere else. Talk about a business development opportunity!
