| Recognizing a strong networking
need among members of the community, Fishman
sought ways to bring technicians together for
an exchange of information and ideas. At the
same time, manufacturers, eager to offer programs
targeted specifically for laboratories, were
looking for opportunities to do so during the
Chicago Mid-Winter meeting. Conditions were
perfect for the creation of LMT’s LAB
DAY which made its debut in February 1985.
What began with 31 exhibitors and about 400
attendees has grown to 180 exhibitors and over
3,000 attendees. LAB DAY has become the most
comprehensive, most highly attended trade show
in the history of the American laboratory community
drawing attendance from all over the world.
In 1991, LAB
DAY WEST made its debut in
Anaheim, California. Considered primarily
a regional program, it has become the second
largest dental laboratory trade show in the
country with a record attendance of well
over 1,500 in 2003.
To celebrate the coming of the new millennium, LMT introduced Technology 2000,
a state-of-the-industry research presentation
and trade show, held
in New York City at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
The response from attendees, who welcomed
a show in the heart of New York City, was
so positive, that LAB
DAY EAST was born and
continues to build its presence on the east
coast.
LMT has built its reputation—with
integrity and sincerity as key guiding principles—by
meeting the needs of its market. The company
is known for its highly visible team spirit
and for providing creative strategies that
help dental laboratory operators develop
successful businesses. |
