Day 1 at SmileCon 2023 was filled with great conversations, enlightening moments, and laughs with the dental professionals who stopped by booth #2258.
From innovative tech startups to mouthwash, the attendees and exhibitors were diverse and offered many opportunities to learn more about the industry. SmileCon attracted a large, excited crowd, and conversations have revolved chiefly around business needs.
While there has been some mention of artificial intelligence, most attendees seemed interested in continuing education, mental health, hygiene innovation, and streamlining business processes.
Customers stopped by the booth to say hi, discuss HIPAA compliant email, and get some special Paubox swag. We heard some fascinating use cases, but more on that below.
What is SmileCon?
SmileCon is the ADA's reimagined annual meeting, a pivotal gathering for the dental community. It offers a platform for continuing education, networking opportunities, and a showcase of hundreds of exhibitors, providing an inclusive environment for learning, professional development, and fun.
Highlights
Today, we enjoyed meeting and interacting with several customers and some customers-to-be.
- Highlight #1: Meeting customers is always a highlight of any day.
- Highlight #2: SmileCon offers a Philanthropy Hub section where Colgate was teaching kids about dental health.
- Highlight #3: Paubox's flashing sunglasses were a massive hit!
Takeaways
- Insight #1: Too many dental practices aren't sufficiently securing their email, relying on disclaimers or de-identification, neither of which are entirely HIPAA compliant.
- Insight #2: Many dental practices send more emails to other dental professionals than to patients.
Swag and giveaways
Our exclusive Paubox swag and T-shirt giveaways were a hit! Hundreds of attendees walked away with our flashing sunglasses, bringing smiles all around.
Closing thoughts
Day 1 was filled with engaging conversations and valuable insights from our customers and ADA members. We're looking forward to another exciting day at SmileCon 2023 tomorrow!
