“BDIA Tech Show – Up close and personal”

The recent BDIA Tech Show was a new venture for the Association, run in partnership with the Dental Technologists Association (DTA).

Hundreds of technicians, laboratory owners and CDTs sampled the unique mixture of over sixty live demonstrations and talks, hands on master classes, a trade exhibition and lectures from world class speakers at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena on 16-17 May 2014.

Tech Show offered arguably the widest scope of any technician facing event in the UK for many years and Edmund Proffitt, BDIA Policy and Public Affairs Director, commented, “Our Tech Demo Zones proved extremely popular, giving technicians a chance to get up close and personal to the demos, providing visitors with a real feeling of involvement”. 

Tech Show’s key note lectures and master classes were delivered by Dr John Besford and Ruth Bourke on the first day, themed around advances in prosthetics and Dr Christian Coachman started off the second day which focussed on advances in restorative dentistry.

Mike McGlynn, DTA President, stated, “We were delighted to be part of Tech Show which offered so many fascinating and insightful sessions to visitors, combined with the opportunity to meet their favourite suppliers, watch the product demonstrations and learn about many new products and systems”.

Tech Show exhibitors took full advantage of this unique event with a range of new product launches and an impressive array of stands and product displays, including the milling, digital printing and imaging technologies that are revolutionising and changing the face of laboratory work.

Technicians attending the show gave positive feedback on the day and Tony Reed, BDIA Executive Director, commented, “Tech Show indicates that there are clear distinctions between what different members of the dental team want and require from dental shows. Our Tech Show experience demonstrated that technicians are interested in close-up, practical demonstrations with interactive activities and hands-on involvement”.

 

BDIA Tech Show took place in the Jaguar Hall, Ricoh Arena, Coventry on 16 & 17 May 2014.
