I returned earlier this week from the Chicago Midwinter Meeting and I must tell you, the downturn in the economy did not seem to be a factor on the McCormick Place show floor. People were lined up to get in for the opening of the exhibit hall on Friday morning, and many exhibitors I spoke with said nothing but good things about the booth traffic and sales made. Several reps told me their company made their sales goals for the meeting, which I thought was a tremendously positive indicator. I attended several press conferences and listened with interest about some of the new products being launched. Two that stood out to me were the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System from Evolve Technologies (www.korwhitening.com) and Trimira's Identafi™ 3000 oral cancer screening device (www.trimira.net). Both seemed to have the technology that would "wow" dentists and patients, and I think we'll be hearing positive comments about these products for some time. Next up? A trip to Cologne, Germany, for the IDS Meeting. This meeting happens every other year and we'll often see products launched at this meeting that won't be available in the United States for another year. Talk about a sneak preview! And, of course, the food can't be beat. I'll drop my next installment from Germany. Until then, be sure to check out www.dentaleconomics.com and our community at community.pennwelldentalgroup.com.
