July 31st will kick off UOR 2008 in Chicago - my flight is booked and the hotel has been reserved. I can’t wait to reunite with colleagues from CareerFusion, Speaking Consulting Network and the ADIA. Last year I was able to sit in on more than one session per time slot (had my walking shoes on!) thanks to the generosity of the Pennwell team. Big conferences are where my reporter’s hat comes out and I spend time observing exhibitor efforts, attendee reactions and of course, I ask many questions of both. If you will be there, drop me a line – I’d love to meet up with you.
Also taking place at UOR is a raffle to raise proceeds for the Oral Cancer Foundation. A group of us from Amy’s List (the best group resource for hygienists) has come together to form the Oral Cancer Committee. We’ve created an awareness slide that many of the speakers have agreed to include in their program. The primary goal is to raise awareness among the dental hygiene community to provide regular screening to all patients. The secondary goal is to have a successful fund-raising raffle, of course. Hope to see you at UOR this year!
