Star of the North Meeting

The Exhibit Hall Premiere Night continues to be the most popular event at the Star of the North Meeting.  On Thursday, April 26 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., dentists and their guests will be given exclusive access to the exhibit floor.  This unique opportunity is designed to provide your company with a favorable sales environment and give you that much desired one-on-one time with the attendees who hold the buying power.

We have hired a digital caricature artist to provide our attendees with a free digital caricature of themselves.  The artist will be right on the show floor all day Friday and Saturday, and appointments will be available to help control traffic flow around the booth.  Check out the Sponsorship Opportunities and take advantage of this new opportunity to promote your company!

Our popular Table Clinic program, which is located in the exhibit hall, will be available throughout the day on Friday and offers free CE credit to attendees.  Presenters include MDA members, exhibitors, and graduate students. If your company is interested in presenting a table clinic, please contact the MDA for more information.

We have set aside two whole hours on Saturday, with no competing education programs, so attendees have ample time to explore the exhibit hall.

The Star of the North Meeting holds multiple prize drawings during the course of the meeting.  Attendees will be required to deposit their prize drawing tickets in the exhibit hall to be eligible to win prizes such as $400 Exhibitor Merchandise Vouchers, iPads, Kindles, $100 Target gift cards and many more!

A CE Verification Station will be located in the back of the exhibit hall.  Attendees will visit this station to confirm CE credits they receive from attending Star of the North programs.  Now they can confirm their CE credits and visit with exhibitors all in one trip!

One of the most striking displays at the meeting is the photo exhibition, located on the exhibit floor.  Attendees are encouraged to take the time to view and vote on the photos submitted by their colleagues.

We continue to offer and promote the onsite Exhibit Hall Café.  It is important to encourage our attendees to stay onsite during lunch, which gives everyone more time to tour the exhibit floor.  This year, menus will be preprinted in the Preliminary Program and Onsite Program to entice attendees to stick around over the lunch hour.

At the end of the meeting, you can leave your open boxes of toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand cream, etc. with us!  We have arranged with a local charity to pick up and distribute those items you leave behind.
