It’s a rewarding experience with some perks! If you host a speaker, you will be credited your registration fee following the conference.

What exactly does a Host do?

Hosts are the liaisons between the Pacific Dental Conference and the speakers and have the prime responsibility to ensure their stay and presentation at our meeting is a positive experience. Duties of a host include: • introducing your speaker at the presentation • monitoring the presentation • accompanying your speaker to breakfast or lunch in the Speaker’s Lounge • thanking the speaker at the end of their presentation A full Host Package is sent to you well in advance of the conference with detailed information on the duties of a Host.

Wine Whisperer David Lancelot has worked his magic once again sourcing the best products from Canada’s top, talented winemakers!

Enjoy the Celtic sounds of Tiller’s Folly as you sample the wide range of beverages and make your way to the various buffet stations.

As the evening progresses, the band moves away from its Irish roots and gets the dance floor filled as the night changes to a party of PDC proportions!
