Exhibit Hall
The 2012 Exhibit Hall has
new hours and will be open 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM on Friday, April 27, and 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday, April 28. This year will feature approximately 120 booths of various vendors exhibiting all the latest products and services related to the art of dentistry and the business of running a dental practice.
Attendees can participate in the
ODA Bingo! game that will take place during both days in the Exhibit Hall. The ODA Bingo! game has attendees visiting certain booths to fill out the game card in order to win great prizes.
The
OUCOD and ODA New Dentist will host a combined reception on Friday evening, April 27th in the Exhibit Hall from 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM. This will be a great time to see and mingle with classmates, and explore the great sales going on in the Exhibit Hall booths!
CONCESSIONS
Concession stand will be open at 7:00 AM on Friday and Saturday mornings and will stay open until the Exhibit Hall closes each day.
Due to lack of participation in the box lunch program at the ODA Annual Meeting, it is being discontinued. However, the Cox Convention Center will now offer concession stands in the Exhibit Hall during the lunch hour. This will hopefully satisfy our meeting attendees with better quality and selection of food for their lunch.

The middle of the Exhibit Hall will feature the DENPAC Silent Auction, which is always one of the most popular events at the Annual Meeting. Numerous organizations and individuals have donated a wide range of items that will be available for purchase via silent auction.
