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.

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.
