Midwinter Meeting 2012 kicks off in Chicago


The Chicago Dental Society's 2012 Midwinter Meeting runs Feb. 23 through 25 at McCormick Place West in Chicago. My wife -- a dental hygienist -- has quite a bit to do there. I -- a journalist -- have quite a bit less.

Still, I'm here -- we arrived in Chicago just minutes ago -- and rather than spend the next few days wandering aimlessly through McCormick Place while my wife sits through classes, I figure I'll put my journalistic skills to work and write about the event in real time.

Last year I was offered a press pass. This year I've come empty handed and lanyard-free. Which is to say my coverage of the event will be technically unsanctioned and quite possibly limited to what I can see from publicly accessible areas.

We'll see how that goes. It'll be fun, I promise.

If you have something interesting to say regarding the 2012 Midwinter Meeting or simply want to get in touch, feel free to email me at midwintermeeting (at) gmail.com.

The author photo above was taken by the fine folks at the Dentsply International booth in the exhibit hall at last year's Midwinter Meeting. If all goes well, maybe I can get a new one taken this year.
