Pacific Dental Conference – March 7-9, 2024

Casey Sharp

March 4, 2024

Pacific Dental Conference is just around the corner and we are excited to see our
industry friends and colleagues again in Vancouver! This year, you can find us at
booth #1151 and we are ready to see everyone! We have a fun game to play at
our booth and you may even win a pair of our famous RISIO SOCKS!

We would love to see our students, graduates and sponsoring dental teams, so
please stop by and say hello! We are also excited to meet new dental teams and
collaborate with industry representatives.

In March 2023, we all met back in Vancouver after being away for 3 years during
the pandemic, and it was a fantastic event. ln-person events, such as the PDC,
are a great way to connect with like-minded individuals in our dental industry
that we all love so much!

This year, Jewel and Tanya from our Risio team will join Carey-Ann and Casey at
the event. We have our running shoes polished and we are ready for showtime!
Will we see you there? Don’t forget to stop by our booth and spin the wheel for a
chance to win a pair of our famous #risiosocks!
