Eager to see and try all the new and tried-and-true products and technologies, a record-breaking crowd of 1,686 laboratory product buyers attended LMT's 18 th annual LAB DAY WEST on April 19 in Irvine, California. This is the fifth consecutive year that LMT's southern California show has had record-setting attendance figures, and participants noticed. “We had as many people at our table here as we did at LAB DAY Chicago,” said exhibitor Gary Bagheri, Magic Touch Software, San Marcos , California. Clinic sponsor CAD Blu West's Sabina Kosek concurred, “We were so impressed with the sheer number of participants and exhibitors!”
Vocally appreciative attendees welcomed the opportunity to network with their peers and comparison shop at exhibits presented by 119 manufacturers, suppliers and laboratories. In addition to shopping the exhibit hall, lab owners, managers and technicians earned CDT credits and participated in more than 50 technical and business-oriented seminars on implants, ceramics, digital and metal-free technologies, removable restorations and infection control. Clinic sponsors included : 3M ESPE, Argen Corp., Astra Tech, Inc., Bego USA, Captek, CDM Dental, Dentation, GC America, Heraeus Kulzer, Inc., Hi-Tec Dental Products, Ivoclar Vivadent, KDF U.S., Inc., Leach & Dillon Products, LMT, Nobel Biocare, Nobilium/Ticonium, Preat Corp., Shofu Dental Corp, Sirona Dental Systems, Vident, Whip Mix Corp., Wieland Dental Systems, XPdent, Zahn Dental and Zimmer Dental.

We look forward to seeing you next year at our new location [which features a larger exhibit hall!].
