Business Strategies for Dental Laboratory Decision-Makers

Digital Technologies Dominate LAB DAY® Chicago Buzz (2009)

Share Print Email Feb 2009 | News

During Christmas week of 1984, the seeds for the formation of LAB DAY were planted. That first year, we had 31 exhibit tables and no clinics. In 2009, LMT celebrated its 25th Anniversary with 289 tables, 85 clinics and more than 3,000 attendees from all over the world! Even after all these years, we continue to be elated with the tremendous turnout. Clearly, you are eagerly engaged in building your business and continually upgrading your skills as laboratory operators. It pleases us—the staff of LMT—to see that you take full advantage of our venue. The exhibit hall was packed, the clinics were overflowing, the networking was intense.

LAB DAY has become the largest dental laboratory show in North America. It is the show that manufacturers prepare for all year in order to debut new materials, products, equipment and services to enhance your operation.
