A One-of-a-kind Exclusive Meeting…

Overcome the Business Challenges of 2017…Today.

Join us for exclusive gathering of industry thought leaders, colleagues and the P&R Dental Strategies team — all converging at the top of Chicago’s Dana Hotel & Spa for a day of thought provoking discussion and training. At this unique Learning & Informatics Summit we’ll be highlighting challenging issues facing dental payers and the real informatics solutions you can use to get ahead today and in 2017.

Reception and Welcome Tour

The event kicks off on the evening of June 22 with a reception of food, drink and networking with colleagues in the Peristyle Lounge of the Dana Hotel.

Later in the evening, join us to unwind with a fabulous boat tour of the Windy City on all three branches of the Chicago River. Wendella Boats, Chicago’s Original Architecture Tour®, will lead us on a comprehensive tour navigating through the heart of the city while a professionally-trained architectural guide tells the story of more than 130 years of innovation in design, style and technique.

Program Overview

Following opening remarks from P&R Dental Strategies’ CEO, Paul Sheils, and a keynote by Dr. Juan Yepes, Associate Professor of Pediatric Dentistry at Indiana University School of Dentistry that is sure to inform and entertain, we get down to business with an Informatics track discussing some of the key challenges facing dental payers today (and what you can do about them!).

A Learning track will run concurrent to the Informatics track for attendees who want a deep-dive, hands-on learning experience with P&R Dental Strategies’ insights tools. Learning track sessions will repeat so attendees can get as much of both tracks as they like. Also not to be missed will be a lunchtime presentation by Dr. Fred Eichmiller, DDS, MS, Vice President & Science Officer at Delta Dental of Wisconsin, who has published an array of academic papers during the course of his career and holds twelve patents reflecting research on dental restorative materials and other industry topics.
